vivid detail of setting with strong sensory appeal to senses not limited to the visual
effective choice of action verbs that add life to the scene
nice pairing of sunshine and summer

Hello Zanya,

Oh, what a prelude you have in six short lines! Lovely - makes me impatient for summer to be here.

Best wishes in the contest.

Have a lovely week,

Sonali :)

And a most welcome prelude it is, mystery poet. The sweet, sweet sounds of spring, that usher in the coming of even warmer summer days. Picnics and parades, county fairs and car shows, both spring and summer lend hope and promise to the disheartened.

Well done, and I wish you the best of luck in the contest!

Your poem does its part to usher in the new season with a nod to the beauty that is soon forthcoming. Nicely worded and displayed.

I really love the art work here and what wonderful words written about "Summer prelude."

"Trees arrayed in freshest green
Birds song trills unseen." were very special words.

This piece meets the criteria of the prompt as this piece has the correct number of lines totaling six. Good alliteration with song/scents...birds/breezes...sunshine/summer. Good complimentary photo followed by a clear message.

I love the picture. I love the poem. I am seeing signs of spring. It is most welcome. Winter seems to want to hand on.
It snowed April 14th. But spring is stubborn. The flowers are still blooming. The birds are singing. Great work. Good luck with the contest.

In "Summer Prelude" I can hear all the different instruments of an orchestra. And this is exactly what the opening of summer feels and looks like. A really pleasant experience!
