This is a very nice minute poem. You have done well by giving a nice, enjoyable story in 60 syllables. 'Family picnic upon the hill - to eat their fill'. I like that. Good rhyming scheme. Nice alliteration 'A shaded site - Summer's......' - well done. Regards Dorothy

The sights and sounds, they laugh and joke,
Barbecue smoke
Drifts to the heights.
Grilled hot dog bites.

Minute poems are fun eh Tom? This one is good as it is about picnicking with the family.

I enjoyed your minute poem and the way it resonated summer. I admired your rhymes and alliteration of "s's" along with your family photo. Happy Fourth and a glorious summer- Joan

Definitely a great Minute poem. I could smell the BBQ from my desktop. I wonder if there are any BBQ crabs and prawns and they are usually the best for me, anyway.
A summer season, a shaded site, a sunny day and of course the beautiful greenery surroundings. Sure feels like summer!
Great Minute poem and a very light and easy read. Well done on this one!
Cheerio, Ritchie. Happy summer!

Perfect picture once again. You know they have a Photographer's Photo guide, Just like a Writer's Market Guide, that tells you where to submit your photo's for publication. It might be something you want to invest in since your pictures are so good. I love the poem as it is a happy poem. God loves you and so do I.
