Well that sure summarizes the school year. It is always over before it begins, or so it seems. Your poem is well written and enjoyable. Best of luck in the contest. Evi

Oh Evi, as always you are so sweet! Yeah, my 12 yr old grandson is not looking forward to going back, but as a retired teacher, there were many years I wasn't either. Lol! Thanks my dear friend for the awesome review and comments my friend!

Lol - I really like this outlook, mapping out the year in terms of holidays. I (barely) remember doing the same when I was school age :-). I very much enjoyed the read.

A fine poem of anticipation starting and finishing with the remainder of summer, and combining it with meaningful events in the coming weeks and months. Best wishes for your entry.

Comment from JLR
Oh yes, to look forward to the off days -- where books and classrooms and the dates on the calendar are ticked off one by one until summer break arrives again, a fine, technically exact Richameter - good luck!

Those days of looking forward to getting days off from school. I remember those days. If only I could go back and be as wise as I am today. I enjoyed reading your poem. Have a great day.

And, that's the year. My how fast those l80 something days do pass
by with all those special days to look forward to having as free days.
I don't know what a Rictameter poem is. If you could let me know, I
would appreciate it.

A rictameter is a poem that starts with 2 syllables then the next line is 4: then
6, 8 then 10. Then you start counting down at 8, 6,4 then the same 2sylabel word is Summer. Thanks for reading it, as it is a fun one when my grandson is so distraught about going back to school, it was fun for him to help me

nice example of the form. You nailed it. I have one to submit, but I think I missed the deadline. I will have to check later. I like the last line the best as it sums it up in one word.
