This poem is as gloriously rich and warm as the topic. The words flow naturally, and have a great rhythm. I'm sure everyone who reads this would also agree with your sentiment. I certainly know my moods are better when the weather is warmer.

Comment from Lynar
I enjoyed how the repeating line of 'One Summer's gone' left a nice impression in the first stanza upon my mind. It didn't let me forget how wonderful the scene was in Summer, right down to the last line in fourth stanza. Great tricky emphasis done extremely well.
One could easily relate to the turquoise blue sea to continue in the environment that is right for lovers. No negative comments. Exceptional.

I don't know how people like you come up with poems that fit these crazy forms (pantoum, quatern, etc.) but you have done a great job. I really like the easy entertaining flow of the poem, and the repeated line. It's also a playful poem, and that plus the layout of it makes it very enjoyable. Great piece! :)

I think I rather enjoy the meditation of taking these crazy forms and then finding something that is different from what would be expected vf - otherwise, frankly, they'd drive me nuts because many of them are so damned dull! :) bless you for reviewing!

A very enjoyable read. I liked the tone it is light and fun. It evokes the joy of summer and the carefree attitude that is often a part of it. Your form is tight and you have weaved the descending line well. "Lets softly dance on the sun splashed shore" is my favorite line in the piece. Very good effort. Good luck on the contest.

I really love the idea of taking another summer when the first one ends. This is so clever and beautifully written and presented. I think I'm going to fly south too. This painted such a tempting picture.

You did a nice job with this quatern. Your images are vivid and the flow of your lines is well done. I would, however, remove the commas from the second and eighth lines. There is no need for commas there.

I like the idea of taking two summers.
Now days its a dream that can be turned to reality.
The form of your quatern has great form.
Your topic is perfect on this labor day.

lol Ahh, if only Winter could be replaced by a second Summer...I'd miss the snow, but definitely not the cold. Great job with this form and thanks for sharing. :)
