Welcome August With An Acrostic Poetry Contest, Sponsor - Andrea Dietrich, Date: 08/08/2023

A much-anticipated August swoops in, Unspooling a rather delightful surprise. Gone; out of a blast furnace, torrid July! Undulating gracefully in the soft breeze, Snapdragons tarrying in a vast clearing. Time to rejoice! Autumn is drawing nigh.

An Autumn chill can’t get here soon enough for me. Temps of over 100 and a drought has been stifling. You’ve composed a fine Acrostic, Edward. Hope all is well with Isabel.

I can't wait for Fall either. July was brutal, especially for those living in Arizona and Nevada! Thanks for the lovely visit and well-wishes, Lin:-)
