A full orchestra of the ;wild creature's band' is a very pleasant thing to listen to while sitting by a campfire.
'E ven crickets join the band
R ubbing wings to synthesize.'
The best lines!
Best of luck in the Seasons acrostic writing prompt contest.

Thank you for this review. I'm glad you related to hearing these sounds!
Comment from LisaMay
I enjoyed reading and hearing all the sounds that go to making up the symphonic sounds of a summer night. Such a variety! You put them together poetically very well.

Thank you, Lisa. It felt like I was hiring animals for an orchestra as I wrote it,lol. I cut out the foxes who scream! I appreciate the good review!
Comment from Anita Manuel
Thank you Maestro! I loved this. You succeeded at orchestrating a forest choir through the use of words. As I was reading it, I could almost hear the harmonious yet distinct sounds of God's creatures.
I think it is amazing when a writer can make words come to life and cause the reader to be able to hear.
Great job.

Thank you for this review! I wish now I had mentioned they were God's choir or something. Next poem maybe...
-
You are welcome. I have a feeling you will make use of God's choir somewhere else!!!
-
I just might! 😃

I like how your poem is so full of onomatopoeia (hoo, grunts, growls, hiss, click, croaking.) All those many creatures sure can put on a summer symphony. Best wishes in the contest!

Comment from Valerie Fish
Loved this; probably the best acronym poem I've seen; so many, I think, seem contrived, but not this one. Great singing / music theme throughout, very clever, and that last line finishes it off nicely.
You've earn't one of my rarely awarded six star review. Well Done.

Wow, you really made my day. What a gift you've given me! I just started doing contests again. This review came at a great time...kind of a blah Monday until now!
Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written Acrostic about summer nights and the clear sounds of nocturnal birds and aninals that echo through the tree branches. A choir if nature in perfect harmony.

Choir! I like that:) Thank you for your review!
Comment from RodG
This poem was delightful to read aloud and I'm sure it will appeal to young readers. Wonderful description of the nocturnal symphony and its many "instruments." I especially like your use of ONOMATOPOEIA and rhyme. Rod

Thank you Rob. I didnt realize I did onomatopoeia! I have plenty learning to do. Thanks for pointing that out!

You are very welcome.

This is an excellent entry for the seasonal acrostic contest. You evoke the sounds and sights of summer very well in the recommended format. The picture is a great addition.

Your contest entry is filled with vivid imagery, Mystery Writer. I enjoyed reading it. I like how you formatted the lines with the bold first letter of each. The image is a good choice, too. Your words flow well--each line adds more description to the scene until the symphony is complete.
Best wishes.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Mimi Linny
Nicely written Acrostic on "Summer Nights!" The rhyming sequences add to the well-conceived instrumental crescendo of the Summer Night's parallel to a symphony! Two little notes:
1. If you have the photo inserted above the entire poem, it would be easier to read and you could see "SUMMER NIGHTS" spelled out perfectly in its vertical format.
2. Did you mean: Making music with their wings, "our" Midnight lullabies? I was thinking that you may have meant "Making music with their wings "are" Midnight Lullabies. Not sure, but thought I'd point it out, just in case... Again, great job!

I change the position of the words. It took me some doing to get it right. It should now be underneath the picture. I put o u r nights because if you're in a house sleeping with the window open you can hear them making music :-) you can't know how appreciative I am that you took the time to make those two notes! Thank you!

I've fought with getting the pictures inserted just right myself! It's annoying, but proud when you get it accomplished! Again, great job and good luck in the contest!
-
It looks so different on my phone. I will use the computer from now on.
Have a great day!:)
-
I think I discovered how to move the words under the picture. It was like a mystery!
-
It definitely looks different on phone - always annoying when you try to read and write on that little screen! LOL! Have a great one!
-
For sure!
