Free Verse (Written My Way) 1. Nature Theme
Sponsor, Constance La France

oh, summertime a long time coming you were stuck for a while by springtime and her fickle ways to dally- but then at last gave up for your new chance to shine oh, summertime a long time coming you were but finally- you arrived and your season of lovely outdoor living with carefree days became our reward So soon- our August has begun- and you are so close to your exit- for it is not too far in time when September air repaints your vibrant hues into a world of autumn gold with shorter days and longer nights such a melancholy time when August comes and begins to make way into the next act in our theater of time- when a new world of both autumn and winter seasons- reshapes our living once again- until the timing for the rebirth of infant spring- like magic arrives to mature into glorious summer- to once more become our yearly dream come true
