This is a flawless piece about the beauty of summer. Summer rain is my absolute favorite weather. Your liberation is flawless. I feel this will do very well in the contest! Well done!

A very nice depiction of a spring or summer day. The selected picture really adds to your words. You effectively used all of the required words to present a soothing rhyme.

I loved it and your graphic is superb! The rhyme scheme is on point and doesn't seem forced. The verses/stanza read well because of this and the time and care you obviously put into this piece. Good luck in the contest. I will be surprised if you do not place in the top tier.

A great alliterative title to begin with leading into a description of an uplifting Summer scene with superb imagery 'tree tops sway as warm wind sighs'

I can not believe how pretty the picture is and how real it looks. And yes, those birds will return from the south. The eagle will watch from the highest tree top. Thank you for sharing. Take care.

You did a good job writing this poem with the required vocabulary. I actually checked to make sure you had them all. LOL. I like your Shakespeare reference, too. Thanks for sharing.

Good rhymes an for the most part excellent metre. With the latter you should always try to get an important word on the stressed syllable. I think with this I would have tried to find something more important than 'that's':
'soft rain that's long overdue...' >> Why not try:
'soft rain long time overdue...' ? >> Just a thought.

'Sur[e]ly we should count the blessings,' >> missing 'e'.

Dear Mystery Writer,

What a lovely ode to summer and its fleeting nature! The way you interspersed the words was very clever. They were barely noticeable. The whole poem gave me warm and sweet thoughts of summer and the way it flies by so quickly, reminding me we should surely enjoy every moment. Thanks a bunch and good luck!

Summer is a fleeting moment, while winter seems to go on forever. I still haven't started complaining about the heat yet, but it will come. What a wonderfully written poem.

Good luck in the contest!
Have a great day, and God bless.
