Summer Time

Hi Andrea, Delightful poem--what fun imagery, and just in time (six years later) for the warm weather. Here's wishing you an uber-belated congratulations on your contest win. Cheers, Brian

Congrats on being featured. Summer, sounds wonderful. Sharon : ) Wonderful write.

You said it, Andrea. After this Michigan winter I've worked up real desire for those hot dogs and cozy warm fires. Congrats on the selection. Love, daver

Wow, yet another form I've yet to try! LOL. Yes, I love sonnets : )

Nice one (this form is new to me).Enjoyed-kashinath

This reminds me of summertime quite a bit and I am ready for it, too. Great write, fits well in the contest.

Very well done here, Andrea ... good luck in the contest and thank you so much for your recent comments!!

Ooops, sorry. Meant to say this list poem sounds awesome and brings back fun memories. Sure sounds inviting in the midst of winter!!! Nice work! xoxo

You clever girl you keep pulling me here with your thoughtful comments. About Breakdown, no it actually was an ekphrasis which is a poem about a piece of art. It was Jackson Pollock's Orange Head for a Brian Strand contest. It could be used for many who suffer at times being on the edge, depression, etc. I am not here for good reasons, a long emotional process of moving, plus I just became a grandmother (wow-that was a real surprise-but a blessing) so, just busy in life. Thanks again! xoxoxo

Very clever list poem. I haven't tried one of these yet. Best of luck in the contest.

Love your ABC, a well written entry! Mouth watering it is especially now when it is cold outside. Thank you for commenting Early snow!...Gert

Am I invited??? Hehe I'm gate-crashing nonetheless--haha. I love roasted marshmallows, and make it by the seashore too! Ok, I'm getting carried away but I guess it only means that I really enjoyed your poem :) enjoyed my time reading your lovely rhyme ;) btw--about the calendars--there are actually websites where you can customize calendars and have them printed per piece ;) will email you about it...

Oh yes the fun times of summers gone by, may we recapture some more this year. Per your comment: We have this one life, it's a very long one, forever,what we like in spirituality's growth in the now can be continued, in the new earth. Many can't see that, but it is true. Sincerely, Love, Moses
