My granddaughters had to go back August first. It seemed too early. My grandson has most of August before he returns in Northern California. Congratulations on your win my friend. I enjoyed your tanka. Blessings xxoo

As a kid or young college student, it's hard to see the summer ending, but there's also some good feeling about the new school year. Nice Tanka, Paula. A poet friend in Texas, Bill

Reads like a good contender for the contest to me. Way to go. I remember those days, but we always had a couple more weeks before school started back. Your visit to my page added a different dimension to my page. Sara
