The air is cold with skies of multi-grays as snowflakes fall and paint a wintry scene. I think of summer warmth and fun-filled days; yet many winter days must pass between. But not for me! You see I have a trick! This brand-new world of magic works for me to visit summer resorts, here to pick within my v i r t u a l r e a l i t y. Here on a beach where lifeguards flirt and wink as gentle waves come rolling at my feet, and handsome waiters offer me a drink- I so enjoy my tropical retreat. So let it snow! I'll visit where there's sun- switch winter blahs to magic summer fun! ~2nd Place~ Contest: ''V'' New or Old Poetry Contest Sponsor: Constance La France Theme Chosen: 5- Visit Judged: 11/22/2021 ~2nd Place~ Contest: Virtual Reality Sponsor: Jamie Penn Judged: 08/22/2018 ~6th Place~ Contest: A Funny Sonnet How Your Winter Turned Into Summer Sponsor: Brenda Chiri Judged: 08/30/2017
