This is a very interesting poem. The word choice slows the reader down, and stimulates the reader to think. It expresses its theme very well.

You must live by the sand and sea. Nice short poem. Descriptive with vivid imagery. Expressive. Well thought out. Good work.

I know this probably isn't what you mean in this poem -- but it made me think of the hot summer days where at the end of the day, you just want to throw your sweaty clothes in the laundry -- and the detergent I use is Cheer. I apologize for my interpretation, but I must have household chores on my mind and Cheer really is the name of the laundry detergent I use.

Without original word use, captivating themes or flow, this piece says much about little. It does not connect this reader to anything that resembles summer, nor does it appeal to any senses that correspond to the same.

Nice, you've said a lot with the bare minimum here, and I like that. I liked the generalness of the poem and how every reader can see it as something so different. I had no struggle to make sense of what you were saying like in some other 5-7-5's so well done.

Sands after shower!

Cheer lives, flow fresh dear; past heat

Wind breeze cools summer.

The grammatical structure of this makes it impossible to understand.

What does it mean that sands(desert) cheer lives after a shower?

Wind breeze? Wind and breeze are the same thing ... one just a bit stronger than the other ... why is wind modifying breeze?

Perhaps, in your original language, this poem makes sense ... in English it does not.

Sands after shower!
Cheer lives, flow fresh dear; past heat
Wind breeze cools summer.

With very few words, this poetry describes a tranquil
place with clean air, comfortable climate, and
pleasant results. Thank You for your creation.

You spoiled me with your poem entitled "Autumn". I get the picture, but not a realization of poetic beauty. Thanks for sharing. JeffreyStone

I don't understand the sands imagery, unless its meant to be taken literally. Cheer; oh yes, prime time. Disregard the heat, move on and seek the cool wind. Good.
