Perfectly said and done. All these beautiful memories without the letter A.Great job. These memories will stay forever. The beauty of youth is that we see and feel with a sense of innocence.
As we get older we tend to dig deeper and miss the cream on top.
Let your childhood stay with you as long as you can.
Best of luck in the contest,
Marie

Thank you for the review and comment. Life is still good, but some of those things are a bit hardier to do than they once were.

This is the second poem I've read for this contest. I am amazed that such a good and long poem could be read without using the letter A. I am impressed. Thank you for sharing and good luck.

Loved the rhyme and the flow of this poem. It rolls so easily off the tongue. Then I realised it was written without the letter A which made the achievement even better,
Very well done.

Well done with this excellent poem, without using the missing letter. It flows very smoothly, the rhyme is excellent, the pictures of summer well expressed. To this point, I did not use the missing letter either, so I will stop before I do. Excellent piece. Good wishes for your entry!

Thank you Wendy. You did an excellent job of reviewing with using that letter. I doubt if we'd get very far it if was was an e we couldn't use.

This is such a nostalgic and well done presentation for the 'Life Without the Letter A' contest. you have done a good job and expressed well also how things change from childhood to adulthood.

Well done with this fine entry in this poetry contest that expels the letter "A"not an easy task, the letter "E" would probably be worse. I love to reflect on my youth when things seemed so much easier than today. Beautifully written in generally ballad style, in abcb rhyme, blessings, blessings Roy

OMG! That's a terrific post for the tough contest. Well done!
Everything good, everything magical happens in summer. Summer is all about sunshine, tan lines, sunglasses, beaches, long nights, tall drinks, relaxation and if you're lucky a summer vacation or two. I very much enjoyed your lovely poem. Good luck!

I'm totally impressed with your poem written without any a's. I tried writing one but mine didn't sound so swell. Good luck with the contest. Keep on keeping on!

Life with the letter 'A' is an awesome challenge. But one you pulled beautifully. I loved the poem. It reminded me of my own childhood; me and my little brother riding our bikes. Great artwork. Great job!
