Excellent entry for the Write a 3-5-3 writing prompt contest. I like the dad and son picture and general presentation. Concrete images are easy to visualize. Good syllables count and connection between lines. Good luck in the contest!

This 3-5-3, What was Summer?, has the proper formatting and answers the question with the definitive placement of father and child in the surf during that endless summer.

Was? Tell me it is not so. Do we not have a few measly days left. Arrrgh (yeah, pirate sound really does not fit here, but I bet pirates love summer too)

Great writing. I bet having a dad was so cool.

I wish I could say the same! But your few simple words are most effective and sum up your relationship and love. The way the words are placed is particularly impressive. Well done and good luck.

I enjoyed reading your excellent work! I particularly like the subject matter of father and son enjoying the beach. I can relate to this because I grew up by the Atlantic Ocean just a mile from my house. It's very peaceful. Excellent writing and presentation. Best wishes! Alexandra

    I am delighted my short poem brought back memories of growing up on the Atlantic. I grew up near the Pacific. Many thanks for your kind praise.
