Notes About The Poem

End Of Summer, Beginning Of Fall Tanka Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Tania Kitchin Written 8/17/2026

summer laughter

polished by sunlight
dark green leaves of the live oak
shades spider web swing
happy children's laughter with
itsy bitsy spider song

Thank you so much, Sara! This is the view from my window: a live oak tree stands in front of my yard, with a web swing I hung years ago for my grandson. Two young girls—one his age and the other two years older—often come over to play on the swing. My grandson is autistic and usually does not interact with other children, but this year he has come out of his shell to play with them. It is so heartwarming to see him happy, enjoying time with the girls.
