Notes About The Poem

A July Etheree Poetry Contest, Sponsor - Andrea Dietrich. Date: 07/10/2023

July

month
July
arrives in
style! On the 4th, 
fireworks explode;
it's midday sun ablaze! 
ice cream truck sirens blare and
neighborhood kids run out for treats. 
summer swallows fly high in the sky. 
hurray! 'tis time for fun and vacation!

Dear Edward, I love the fun and festive spirit of your July poem. Your vibrant verse reminds me of when I ran out in the street for treats! Simply splendid imagery throughout, but I especially enjoyed "summer swallows fly high in the sky" - just beautiful! Congratulations for your wonderful win in Andrea's contest. Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan
