Whether you're seven or seventy-seven, summer brings the best out of all of us. I don't know any other season that most people can't wait to experience. Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written eve-the-odds poem and a good call for summer to come along with all the great things we enjoy in the summer times fro good weather for swimming and bathing in the sun.

Your writing prompt post really made me smile. Your words infected my senses. Your illustration also perfectly matched the attractiveness and anticipation of the upcoming summer.
Want to add a period after your last line? You did use caps and ... marks in the lines above it.
IMHO ... your entry will have success in the contest.

Well done with this odds and evens poetic entry. The phrasing's good, but perhaps it's not the perfect shape, you could change the words of the 9 syllable line to do that. But well done, good luck, blessings, Roy

This was a good write. I really thought the form suited the words in its celebration of the coming summer. The imagery was good as was the flow of it. Nice job and good luck in the contest.

The Speaker here thoroughly enjoys the FREEDOM summer brings her--that "rare kind of inner warmth that cannot help but make you grin." Very well expressed!

One word: Beautiful! The flow is very natural and the words all come together and make sense. You chose a great picture, too. Well done!

This poem is a wonderful tribute to summer, especially after a long winter. The opening image of smiling in the sun with the breeze at your back is evocative. It makes you excited for summer to start.
