Lovely photo. I'll be voting for this one... I enjoyed your use of internal rhyme in the first line, alliteration in the second, and the double meaning in the third. I'd like it even more if I'd written it myself, haha!

You gave this a very visual feeling. I had a visceral feeling of the coming of summer. Very well done. Thanks for sharing it and good luck in the contest. Stay well.

Very clever entry. Nice metaphor with beautiful imagery. The final line is a wonderful turn of words, and you topped it off with a perfect photo.
Excellent.

Hi there,

I like the idea of this piece but I think that opening line is a little off. brights just doesn't feel right. Keep it simpler and use lights.

It's a shame as the rest is great. good use of alliteration and the duality of the final line is pretty cool

    Thanks for the read, I thought brights would be more unique than lights. But, I may reconsider.

This 5-7-5, Summer's Coming, has the proper formatting and makes a good use of some pun here with the inference we form from the mention of "wings". Neat.
