Definitely! Why not?
A very hopeful and interesting poem to read!
Lovely rhyming,
adieu/two, sun/done. Nothing forced, it flows so smoothly.
Pleasure to read, all the best!

Comment from Capricorn30
I agree your wonderful quatern;I do not believe it is selfish to request/want more of this glorious season;
I so much enjoye the descriptions"velvet green and gold"--lovely words in this bit of alliteration;
The tuquoise background emphasizes the tropical water
destinations,that we so all desire in winter's cold grip;a good color selection as your words say farewell to summer;the soft romance adds a special appeal to summer's end

Comment from sgalletti
Well, I'd take two any time! It's my favorite season of the year and it always goes by too fast. Wish I could afford to actually fly south - I love Mexico and the Caribbean. But, for me, the second summer is in my dreams. What a beautifully written quatern with all the elements in place - great choice of rhyming words, wonderful meter, beautiful imagery, appropriate repetition of the Summer line. Lots of fun...Best of luck in the contest with a strong contender. Sue

Excellent job and I find much humor and light-heartedness in it. It also makes pretty darned good sense to me. "To swim all year in turquoise blue," Yep! I'll meet you there ;)

Comment from I.L. Walton
A very nice poem that makes me wish that it were possible to give four and a half stars. The repeated line is employed cleverly and there is a refreshing dash of humour (such as 'no winters please, we have agreed' and 'warm days ablaze, let's not "adieu"') that lifts the imagery - which otherwise I would accuse of perhaps being a little bit 'standard'. Your idea of 'softly dancing' is a cracker though, very tender, nice one x

Comment from missy98writer
Poet,
Your poem is wonderfully written with rich imagery painted from your well composed quatern poem.
The art work is beautiful you used.
You used excellent rhyme and metaphor usage.
You used great meter.
You used very good alliteration.
I enjoyed your forth stanza:
Now let's fly south, out-run the sun,
To swim all year in turquoise blue,
And please tell Winter we're not done,
One Summer's gone, so we'll take two!
I'd recommend your quatern poem to other reviewers.
I wish you good luck in the Summer Quatern contest.
Missy.

Lovely quatern and a worthy entry for this contest where the standard is very high.
I enjoyed the lively, conversational tone of your piece and the almost cheeky suggestion that you can achieve the perfect seasonal life - having two of the nice seasons!

You've written a fantastic poem within the rules of this quatern prompt. I like your excellent word choice, rhyming, pacing and imagery; the last stanza is a nice wrap-up for this beautiful poem.
