It's Summer

It's summertime, like a wheel you heat the moist of a flavor beneath the steam of bubbly clouds... and it is so mysteriously delightful: to be swallowed by the glide of a northern breeze which simply accepts all the glittering shells and ocean graffiti woven on the fabric of a night-scape absolute, unabbreviated… how a mantle of adventure props on ruffles of gaiety amidst a thousand fireflies, that all minstrel stars collapse never ever the same each time! ............... Janis Thompson's Summertime Contest Submitted 7/3/2016

Haaay Hunyo na pero parang hello summer pa din! Ang iniiiit! Grabe! pero yung tula mo rito ay maganda, Nette-- hitik sa larawan ng tag-init-- mahusay ka talaga magpinta gamit ang salita! Pagbigyan mo na-- bilang kinagat ako ng lamok na Pinoy na Pinoy--- kabute lang-- sana ay nasa mabuti kang kalagayan-- heto ako, pasukan na naman. Ingat ka lagi at salamat sa pagdalaw-- sya nga pala, si Leonora nagsasabi ay nangangamusta daw sa iyo.

Life can be just so much fun when someone like you expresses it as such a wonderful bunch of experiences. It is always just a bit different as our perceptions change. I personally think your wisdom explains what happens to us as we age.

Even though it's free verse, you sustain a hidden rhythm within which provides a certain symmetry. Your outstanding phrasing and imagery make this a pleasure to read and review! BRAVO Nette!! Best wishes, Keith
