That's got to be the loveliest definition of summer that I have ever read. It was short, sweet, delicate and I loved it.

Alex :)

Bright long days of fun
Where you can swim all day while
Being with your friends.

I love it but I don't know why you choose that picture.

I think you should put that picture if you write a
poem/story a bout the forest.
I love your work but can you write more so I can read more of your work!!

Keep up the good work.:) :)

Isn't this so exceptional! Beautiful I say beautiful! This is such nice piece of writing. You should become a member. I checked the ratings and started laughing! In my opinion this is a great piece of writing. I could even feel as if I was in the poem. This made me feel happy that summer for me has finally come!

This depicts the lazy hazy days of summer in a great way. These short forms allow you to say a lot in a few words. I think this should do very well in the contest.

This is a good 5-7-5 about summer. Personally though, I think it's a bit too literal for me. That's not saying it's bad by any means but I feel maybe it could be a touch more poetic. If I'm missing a deeper meaning then please let me know and I will adjust my rating. Keep writing always.

Hi MandiLina,
Your message is excellent but I need to tell you that 5/7/5 is the syllable count not the word count. Your last line has eight syllables. Maybe you could just leave off company and change in to with & you would have your five syllables. It would read "being with your friends." It still has the same message that way. I am giving you a four star rating but if you fix it I will adjust it to a five star rating.

Blessings,
Maria C.

    I did. It still looks the same. Be sure and hit save after you make your correction.

    oh right. I might've forgotten to save the changes. I spend so much time writing npon-stop that I tend to forget to save. Sorry
reply by Maria C. on 29-May-2012
    Good! Much better. I went back and changed your rating to a five. Good luck to you in the contest. Hugs from Maria

A bit of a stretch with "being" used for two syllables. Maybe "laughing" or something with more obvious syllables would work better for a poetic style reliant on syllable count.

Other than that, I find this to be a fun, frolicking sort of poem that should make your readers smile. :) Nice work and good luck!

For someone that doesn't like poetry, what is this? No offense to your piece but I found the words overly SIMPLE. Suggest you increase your vocabulary . Needs ALOT OF WORK.

Hi MandyLina! This is a terrific 5/7/5 poem. Your syllables are perfect. A lovely description of summer! I can just picture it. I can feel the tired feeling of a long day of fun and I'm laying on the beach soaking up the sun. Best wishes to you in this contest. You have a fine entry here :)

    Thanks! Too bad I can't enter that love free verse poem contest, eh?

    I don't know how those things work on this site. Where abouts in Canada are you? You should check out Gungalo's poems. Then again you might be too young for her stuff LOL.
