The Nearing Summer
May 3, 2013
Awaiting summer
So missed, loved and yearned by me
Dreaming, wishing to
Relax, unwind, have some fun
Laying on the sandy coast
Sun soaking my skin
Fantasizing to
Escape from school, my prison
To approach freedom
Summer Vacation

You managed to capture a lot of emotions in a few lines. Very impressive! This made me want to tan on the beach :) If you have the time, try to write a similar piece about the winter!
Loved the poem, once again. I agree with StarlitSunrise, you chose a relatable topic that made your piece easily enjoyable by all different kinds of people. Whereas if you had written an amazing poem about Ice-Cream, a lactose intolerant person may not enjoy the poem as much. Anywho, I'm babbling now, so I'll leave it at that Great poem, and happy writing!

I like the simple topic that everyone can relate to. :) You broke up the stanzas very nicely as well.

I can relate to this feeling. I like the flow of it (many don't have the talent to do so) with so simple words.

Flows really well. Simply put, but so true. We just got out of school today, so I could not've said it better myself! I especially loved "escape from school, my prison" Keep writing!
