You have painted in words such a lovely scene of country peace and farm living, then brought in the poignancy of Grandpa's absence. It is always memories of the people we love that hold us in emotional thrall.

    I assume there are farms like this in New Zealand, Lisa. Many thanks for taking a trip back in time and your kind praise of A SUMMER DAY. Rod

    Our liked our sheep farms here (I married into a farming family when I first came to NZ) but nowadays there are far too many dairy farms and the run-off is polluting our rivers.

Thanks for such a lovely read! I can definitely relate, as the best days of my youth were also spent on my grandparents' farm. Similarly, what I miss most about those times though is not the gorgeous scenery or animals, but my grandpa, who has long since passed away. Good luck with the competition!

A very well-written quatrain about the summer days we could spent at grandpa's farm and all the beautiful and good things we see and experienced there and listen to the stories they told.

This is very sweet, a wonderful memory of a grand daughter and her grandpa. The picture is wonderful. I don't know a lot about Quatrain Poetry, but I find this very well done. Rox

A lovely poem about the past, when as a young person you spent some time with your favoured grandfather who told his stories and talks. A beautifully written Quatrain poem, nostalgic, articulate and sweetly rhymed in abcb rhyming, and an excellent entry in this contest, good luck, blessjngs, Roy
