How did this year fly by so fast? It seems like Spring was yesterday when flowers bloomed in fine display. The lovely Spring seemed not to last as Summer came to make its stand with longer days and fun times planned. Before we knew the Summer passed, as lush, green leaves gold-red became; a brand new season made its claim. Now Fall is here, bright colors cast on lovely scenes of hills and trees; it too is fading by degrees. Soon it will lead to Winter's blast, a time for snow and festive cheer; and then goodbye to this old year. How did this year fly by so fast? The lovely Spring seemed not to last; before we knew the Summer passed. Now Fall is here, bright colors cast; soon it will lead to Winter's blast. Sandra M. Haight ~7th Place~ Premiere Contest: Constanza Sponsor: Craig Cornish Judged: 12/06/2017

This is wonderful, Sandra! I used to ski all the time and my family had a house near Sugarloaf (Maine), so every weekend and vacation that's what I did - and I ended up doing freestyle competition, until I ruined my knees on moguls, lol. Anyway, my point is that when I stopped skiing regularly, winter lost its thril, and is now just a cold, dark monster that I despise. Oh, snow is nice at Christmas, but I'm ready for Spring after that, and SO relate to this. Enjoyed this muchly - congrats on win

Dear Sandra. You have written a beautiful Constanza! I love the magic of the seasons and your poem exaults them. My legacy is this Constanza form. After I am gone my hope is that it will live on. Etheree Taylor Armstrong would be so pleased if she knew her Etheree form is being used and loved by so many. So one never knows. I am sure this lovely entry will be on the winning list. xxoo : )

Dear Connie, I really love your form and enjoyed writing my poem using it. I hope to use it again in my writing. You are so talented to have devised it and I am sure it will live on. I appreciate that you feel I did it justice with my offering to the contest. Thanks so much for your uplifting comments. Hugs, Sandra

you are like me, Sandra. I have a constanza ready but not posted yet and I used something that comes by "four" with a summary statement . You put your intro and then followed with the four things! Very well done in this beautiful form of Connie's.
