You captured a carefree young girl's summer bliss well in this aptly illustrated poem, and I'm not surprised it won in the contest entered. Yes, all who can recall pleasant childhood days have wistful moments of longing for such times amid the cares, responsibilities, and difficulties of adulthood. Well done.

This is a great Summer Poem. It is well rhymed and evocative of the summers I spent as a youth. Your rhymes and phrasings are smooth. My favorite stanza is the last which captures my sentiments:
Oh take me back
when worries lack,
to Summer's long ago...
Each granted day's,
unique arrays...
my season's ~ all aglow.
Thank you for sharing and congratulations on your well deserved win.

This is a very nicely written poem, illustrated beautifully, in which the writer reminisces about the bygone childhood days of summer. The style of the poem is wonderful with 6-8 syllable count. Rhyming is great. Marilyn

Comment from Eternal Muse
An adorable summer poem, which is a delight to read. You describe an extreme youth glowing in summer splendor. The visuals of this girl are amazing, as if she is standing here before us.
Great rhyming.
One thing - it may just be me, but I winced at the abbreviation of 'Tis" [summer child"] in the first line. I felt the rest of the verse dis not call for this. "This summer child" would have been a lot better. But it may be just me.
A charming verse that should do well in the contest

That's sweet. It reminds me of summers when I was a child. That picture was a perfect choice to go with it. Good luck in the contest.
