My vote gave your contest submission a two vote lead. I enjoyed your entry very much. You most likely have first place sewn up. Top two at the least. Well done Summertime poem maker.

This is a good entry for the Use These Words contest. You covered every spot using every word. I love your picture of the ocean and the beach. It enhances your poem and makes me wish I could be there right now just relaxing and enjoying the sun. It could be because right now it's snowing and blowing with thick ice here in Pennsylvania. Great job! Good luck with the contest~!

A beautiful poem, and a very well written one. You have described beautifully the things you would love to see and do. Your poem flows smoothly with clear unforced rhyme.

Hello anonymous

Beautiful entry for the
Use These Words writing prompt contest. You included all the right words in a natural way...not forced.

The dreams of summer by the sea sounds awesome.

Good luck in the contest.

Great use of words to build a mind picture or dream. Here in Louisiana winter is just starting amid blossoms and Robins. Temps may drop to 17 and it is solar salt and wraps for pipes that is needed. Best wishes with the entry.

Great entry for this contest. The narrative is good and flows nicely around the required words. I think the setting and photo are also appropriate for the submission. Good job and good luck in the contest.

Thank you. I was inspired by the fact that this summer, my family is going to Florida for the first time. I'm excited to see the ocean for the first time. Thanks again.

Hello :)
I enjoyed reading your poem.
The words required for the contest have been used well and blend nicely into the poem. Excellent rhyme and meter and well presented. I like the lightness of your poem and the touches of alliteration are lovely.
Good luck in the voting booth.
Best wishes, Debra
