Half Past Summer Poetry Contest

Sponsor- Andrea Dietrich

After the scorching days and sultry nights, We are in the cusp between summer and autumn. Days have grown cooler with nights longer. Nature, getting ready for the ceremonious Fall. A sweet change is in the air everywhere. Trees will soon waltz in cascading colours. With goodbye kisses, as leaves spiral down in graceful twirl, We will tell- 'We are in autumn’s tight embrace'.

Hello Valsa, this is a beautiful write and an enjoyable read. Time sure flies, as you say Autumn is on its way . We are having thunderstorms today. Have a great week ahead, my friend. Good luck with the contest.

what a beautifully flowing poem! I loved your use of the word 'cusp' and especially liked 'sweet change is in the air.' Right now in our part of Texas, the tempers are just hot! They won't give way to cooler temps for another six weeks or so. Ready! best wishes with the contest, hugs

"With goodbye kisses, as leaves spiral down in graceful twirl, We will tell- 'We are in autumn’s tight embrace'." -- Beautiful imagery, Valsa. There is charmingly refreshing purity in your works. I always leave feeling inspired, and cleansed in a spiritual sense. Blessings.

I enjoyed reading your wonderful "Half Past Summer" write. Pretty Picture... I love the fall time of the year. "Good Luck" We both did this one. I have been off the computer for a few days. Have a blessed day writing away..............

Dear Valsa,this is absolutely beautiful — it reads like nature’s gentle exhale after the intensity of summer. I love how you’ve captured that tender in-between moment, where everything pauses before bursting into autumn’s dance. “Goodbye kisses… in graceful twirl” — such a lovely image. I could feel the shift in the air as I read this. Truly enchanting. Good luck in the contest...Hugs

Dear Valsa, I loved reading this! Wow how beautifully you've written this! I love Summer dusk and dawn. But the daytime, when it gets really hot, makes me sort of blue. I love the cold seasons even though my throat gets a little sore everytime haha. I love autumn! Best, Anne
