You have used your twenty-five words expressively to describe nature's "concert," performed on a summer night, free for all to enjoy. Excellent figures of speech

A very well-written twenty five word poem about the sounds and pleasures of summer evenings that leave sweet memories on our minds for years to come.

The presentation is just amazing. I like the artwork you chose. I learned new words today - Bossa Nova, and thank you for explaining them to us. I liked the visuals in these lines -
cicada vibrations
and crisp mockingbird beat

This should do extremely well in the contest, good luck in the booths.

I loved the vibrant sounds you brought to life here as the sun beats and all creatures join in the song and beat of life, these nature sounds that soothe and remind us that we share this planet, much enjoyed, love Dolly x

I really enjoyed this and feel that the picture was perfect for the poem. It so speaks of summer and the heat and the vibe of summer. Really nice entry for the 25 word poem contest.

My favorite part was, " cicada vibrations
and crisp mockingbird beat", because the words you used immediately brought visuals to me and put me into the poem!

The Lord led me to this verse after I read this,

Nehemiah 8:10
New International Version
10 Nehemiah said, "Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength."

This work has reached the exceptional level

I love the creative formatting of the words. It's as if they are on a dance floor scattered and moving to the beat. Your word choice summons images and sounds we have heard before. It reminds me of summertime with music on the park. This is so entertaining:)

    You are welcome! I'm the kind of reviewer that says exactly what the poem makes me see or feel. Not very technical, but authors need to know the reader connects:) I did!

This twenty-five-word poem, Ooh la la, has the proper word count and sends one up for the bossa nova. I didn't know anything other than the name. Maybe I'll check it out.
