Contest Description
Write a sonnet about summertime, the wonder – the peace – the beauty and the sensations of laughter in the trees, the flowers, the rivers and streams. Write a sonnet about summertime and all its intensity. Expressions trembling with summer rhymes and rhythms – these will be worthy of summer’s visions. Express yourself with all the heart that you would give any sonnet. Words flowing with light and glowing with energy will be favored significantly. God bless you and enjoy this summer challenge.
