What a wonderful metaphor, Andrea! Wonderfully written. Each line is so expressive. Each image is perfectly placed to express metaphoric, seasonal transition and transformation of life. Best wishes for the contest. These simple lines have a beautiful depth to them. I really love this one. It is striking. Blessings!

Something quite liberating about this metaphorical piece Andrea, from crawling along to sprouting wings and flying all summer long, I sense transcendence too, great one for contest, cheers David

Awwn such a beautiful metaphor you've used here, sweet Andrea! I'm in awe of the summery imagery you've painted here and even given wings to this season ~ so glossy and fluttering! Summer must have become the most beautiful butterfly, I can imagine! There's so much profound depth here, indeed filled with the essence of nostalgia, how our heart keeps throbbing with memories, in silence and then it leaves the deepest reminiscences leave the brightest sparks! Love this! Best wishes for the contest
