A well-written Septolet poem. A great message carried over in a few words. A great photo to compliment your poem. Good luck with the contest.

This is bliss to read. I love the carefully-chosen words which all complement each other, and the mellow theme and imagery. A great entry for the competition, and a real pleasure to read.

I seem to find myself in conflict with your premise of your poem i.e. the whiffs of "floral scent suffuse", but, that has nothing at all to do with the quality of your poem, which is an excellent, well metered poem, and vividly visual. Tony Bronk

Wait, wait! I'm not ready for spring to be over yet. I can feel the heat of summer and the longer days. You have captured all of this with your short poem.

So short, yet so lyrical. I'm afraid all I have is a virtual sixer to offer. This is just lovely. Firstly, the opening stanza give us the hints of summer (not here) and portents of floral displays. Secondly, you announce it's here, or nearly. Just great word choices. They make it.

This is a lovely poem that pleasantly welcomes the coming of summer, which is particularly fitting for this time of year. In just a few lines, you paint a full picture of nature and portray a lighthearted theme, and you make a good use of alliteration in the both stanzas. Well done!

This was an enjoyable Septolet Poem, with great imagery, going from spring into summer. The picture goes well with the poem. Good luck with the contest.

The imagery of spring is evident in these very few words and the promise of summer is also included. The word sojourn is perfect for describing summer. In a very few words you have created an image and combined them in the two parts of the poem. well done

Mystery writer, I really like the part about whiffs of
floral scent suffuse.... Good alliteration in summer's
sweet sojourn. Great picture you found to go with it.
Good luck in this contest.

Good word choice to convey the coming
of summer as spring fades with the blossoms.
Nice use of alliteration and assonance.
Good luck in the contest.
