It is a beautiful form, a beautiful poem, dear Mrs. KT.
The summers of flsh- lights and bunkers and Germans, Russians and Americans (everyone wanted to be American, mind you.)
They all want to be German now, back home.
Beautiful, light blue.

Hi Mrs. KT,
Your words took me back to a place of innocence, when children could be children and just have fun.
Loved the vivid imagery and wonderful tone of this.
No SPAG and well written. Nice job, and good luck in the contest. CJ

A beautiful summer entry. I remember something much the same, playing kick the can with the yard light the safety beacon. Your poetry is always poignant, and this one is also.

Hello Sharon! I just love this format....rather strange...but poems that are stories really adapt well to this type of verse. Thank you for your kind review...diane
Comment from Susan E. Pennycuff
well thats because michigan is so dang cold that june is spring in michigan isn't it?
lmbo... sorry couldn't resist hun...lol ( is a huge difference between florida and michigan...lol)
I loved this story but how you had the patience to write it in this form is beyond me
that would drive me insane to write such a long piece and have to count all those syllables for that length...
I am going to be honest... I am giving you five stars just because you counted that many syllables... no kidding... the poem is worth five stars as well, but even if it wasn't ( I assure you it is) I would have still given you five stars for the counting!

Hello Friend! What is so interesting about tetractys is that our words and phrases naturally fall in this pattern of 10 syllables. Try it! It is so much fun to write one of these. I began this offering as a short story, and I kept going back to tetractys. Okay...maybe it's just me...but I love to write this form!!! Take care and so pleased you enjoyed...diane

Intricate, beautifully crafted, well written poem of summer, using a difficult structure. Very nice strong summer images, and a great trip down memory lane.
Good contest entry.
Very well done. Kathy

Comment from Donaya Haymond
I love the shape of this poem! It's just like castle turrets or ocean waves turned sideways. The word choice and imagery are also quite wonderful. This was a real treat.
