Congrats on your prize! So clever and whimsical--impressive internal alliteration (to coin a term) re VICTIm and eVICTIon. Glad I caught up to this! Cheers. LIZ

Comment from lyenochka
Very poetically said! I like the repetition of the "vict" in "victim" and "eviction." Great personification of the season of Summer. Congratulations in placing in the contest!

Comment from Melissa Russell Deur
Congratulations on your Third Place win! I love the phrase "leaves fall victim" as it plays two ways: leaves fall and fall victim. What a wonderful and arresting thought: Summer's eviction. It does seem as if Summer suddenly gets kicked out! The interplay of "victim" and "eviction" is clever, especially with the repetition of the "vic" sound!

Neo-
I would think it would be winter's eviction, or fall's, or that's what I'd expect regarding the usual thinking about the seasons. Hard to create a poems in so few words. Nice try.

I see that what you mean is summer is being evicted, not that it is summer's eviction of something. That makes the poem better but, dammit, tricky, dependent upon that understanding.

LOL! Yeah, I love play on words. Messes with the masses. Thank you, Jeff.
Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hello Neonewman, this is a really well thought out six words. It is not easy to get a message across with only six words but you have very cleverly done so. Good use of metaphor and a lovely picture. Very well done. Good Luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy x

Comment from Cindy Decker
Your poem is an excellent way of saying Summer turned to Fall. Very artistic six word poem. This is a really good contest contender.
Best wishes,
Cindy

Hi Steve. methinks you must have taken time away from the site for a while, because I've not seen you in a long time. Weren't you working on a book last time you were on here?
Anyway, I like this little offering. "Victim" and "eviction" have aa nice ring when used in the same poem, don't they? I Hope all is well with you, my friend.
I am working on my fifth novel for publishing as we speak. Take a look if you have time. :) Bob

Bob, Great to hear from you, my friend. Excited to hear about your new novel. This year as you know has been crazy and full of ups and downs. I have a publisher interested in my novel and want a series of three. They also want me to have the second completed and the third started before we move forward. I will certainly find time in the near future to catch up on yours. Thank you for the great review.
God bless!

Comment from Ric Myworld
Yes, with summer on the way out it won't be long before all the leaves are gone, and for many, the threat of cold rains and snow will soon be moving in. Thanks for sharing.

We rarely get snow here in the Houston area, but the rain always makes its debut. Thank you for the awesome review, Ric.
