Notes About The Poem

Summer Camp

Summer Camp

Summer camp's been a win-win, this week made me grin!
What great times we had, going like mad, never sad
met playing croquet the first day of our va-cay
you're the one I had fun with each day in the sun
played awesome sports in shorts, laughed through games of all sorts
what jokes we'd make sitting by the lake, sun would bake
we swam every day at the dam, then had to scram
off to canoe, whistle blew, I'd eat lunch with you
goodbye my sweetie pie, our time has just flown by
your kiss felt right late last night. Don't forget to write!

A big big congratulations for this feat. I am so sorry this is coming a month late, due to the pressure, we medical practitioners are facing at this time, I didn't have the time to go through the contest, but I am glad I did. it was a difficult decision to make, a big congratulations to you once again.

Jan, I'm always happy when my words can charm my charming friend! Yes, totally challenging, I put it off for the same reason. Finally some words fell in place. No call awaits me from the Pulitzer committee, but at least it's an entry, haha!

Thank you for the kind remark, Tom. I must confess this was a fictional account of a daydream girl, but since it's my daydream - yes, she wrote beautiful love poems to that dreamy boy she met at camp, haha!
