I couldn't help but laugh as I read this contest entry. As if summers aren't hot enough in Texas, I read a report that Texas may have the hottest summer on record this year. Lucky me??? I enjoyed reading your entry and wish you luck with the contest.

I like this poem. Some of the words stand out to me like: amid golden hues and April sunset is pledge. The picture is a good choice to go with the poem. Good luck in the contest

This is a beautiful picture of sunset .What the golden hued sunset pledges are many hot summer days. This is well expressed The syllable count is correct .You may put a ~ mark at the end of the second line..

This 5-7-5, Outlook, has the proper formatting (accepting the word "Midst" as opposed to "amid") and sees the April sun as a promise of future days of pleasant weather.

Yes, Zanya, the promise is certainly there of a very hot summer to come. We have all the signs here in Spain already. I loved your 5-7-5 poem. All the best of luck. Ulla xcx

"Midst golden hues" This is only 4 syllables, I believe. Perhaps, change Midst to Admist?
Indeed, the brighter sunshine in April/spring heralds a sizzling summer to come. Good outlook to have. Good luck!

I love the word "pledge" here. It is a promise of warmth to come. And after a long and icy winter, it is a welcome thought to think of hot days - but not too hot! Best wishes in the contest!
