This is a cute, bouncy poem and, as a summer person myself, I fully understand how you feel. Just two quick points I would make. I know they said any rhyme scheme is okay but, when you did four stanzas as aabb, doing the last as abab seemed a bit confusing. Also (and this may just be my eyes), I found it a little straining to read the pale-colored text on the green background. You might want to make the text a bit darker. Your picture, of course, added to the bright and sunny feelings your poem expressed.

Excellent. If you're going to take the time and effort to write a poem, you want people to be able to read it. I'm glad my comment was helpful, and thanks for letting me know.

Cute "happy" poem that made me smile. I like sweet simple stuff like this. Who say poetry has to stretch and challenge the mind? Having fun is just fine. I think it would look better if centered, more poem like. I am a sun person and relate to your words. As we approach our night I long for our trip to the southern sun. Good Job.

I agree the sun also makes me a lot happier than the cold or rain, one can function better when they are warmed up, an excellent read and I like your happy sun artwork, very well done and best wishes for your contest****kahpot

A fun read with good rhyme and a pleasant theme to write about. Especially in this time of year when not only Canada but many parts in the US can be paralysed with snow conditions. Suggestion, if you make a contrast between font and letters, it will read better.

Well done with this fine entry in this happy contest. I like the theme, it seems the closer you can get to the sun, the happier you'll be. Beautifully written with some good mixed rhyming and a happy theme, good luck, blessings, Roy

Hello. I liked the first few verses, but the bright green background hurts my eyes. It competes with the color of your font and it makes it hard to read. I am giving a three for a difficult presentation. If you consider changing the color, please let me know.
