Sweet summer comes in June and I will be Underneath the sun, for I’m awaiting Midsummer dreams and my own chance to see Magical small beings out creating Enchantment at the setting of the sun! Radiance can catch a wee fairy’s eye So stones in a circle could attract one. Objects shiny too might make one less shy! Longer is this day, so before the night, Sugared fruits I’ll put out too, then await The fairies and stay awake till daylight In case one comes. Oh, wouldn’t that be great! Come dawn, I’ll watch sun climb high and higher Eastward, and there I'll see the sky catch fire. An acrostic sonnet, written June 1, 2016

I wrote one but it didn't rhyme so I never entered the contest or posted the poem. A little different take on the theme. Nicely written.

I love the effects that you've created using this poem. Simply ingenious! the fact that you created a poem that adheres to the form of sonnet, rhymes and is also an acrostic is a testament to how great a poet you are! Hats off Andrea. Hugs, Angie :)

Impressive effort and result. I know I've never written an acrostic sonnet, but I'd enjoy the challenge. You won't need it, but Good Luck all the same ... CayCay
