Filled with a embracing quality with a good enjoyment of tone with a very present sentiment. It speaks a volume with a deliberate and exciting tone whereby it has a clear definition and freedom of expression.

Hi Mystery Writer. Your well constructed poem speaks of the noises of children playing. We live in times when they should have many opportunities to play. That's where their early learning is done.

Good luck in the contest.

That's one of the signs of summer - children playing outside with joy and laughter. Symphonies of happiness- what a great image! Music to our ears in a world that's too involved with tapping on devices. Great little piece for the contest.

A very well-written 5-7-9 poem about the happiness of children is a joy to see when they are laughing carefree in play. Their laughter is a song ringing in our ears remembering our own childhood.

I like your wordplay and metaphors. This a very uplifting poem. The image appeals to several senses. The reader is invited to reflect upon their experience as a child and their impression of happy carefree children. Well expressed.
