This is a time that goes back a few years when children actually played outside. A very wonderful time. Thank you for sharing this contest entry with us. Good luck with the contest.

My childhood was spent in the country with nature. Not many children around but I was definitely entertained and amused by the world around me. Children of today miss so much by stuffing their faces behind their phones and screens. thank you for sharing this lovely poem.
Smiles, Carol

Patty,
this poem brings back so many memories for me: going swimming and camping. It's funny I can remember childhood summers, more than winters. It was really a magic time for me.
Your excellent abc poem is so beautifully written!
Best wishes, Cindy

Comment from shelley kaye
nice summer abc poem of childhood memories
a good ababa rhyme and nice imagery
a suggestion i have is maybe try a dark green background and a yellow font to blend in with the cool pic? just a thought...
also had a thought as i was reading through a second time- maybe try using present tense?
Amidst the laughter long and bright,
Breezes carry whispers of our play,
Childhood dreams alive in endless light,
Dandelions drift on their way---
Echoes of our youth of a summer day's delight.
eh just a few thoughts you can kick around lol
thank you for sharing and good luck in the contest!
