Basically, I want to read a summer poem that's about more than that. Use summer as a metaphor, a back drop, or anything you want. I do request you don't use dirtypretty or other grammatical "modifications".
I am allowing rhyme in this contest, but if you want a chance at winning be sure it's well done. I can't stand poorly done rhyme.
I also ask that you look beyond the stereotypes and write something more interesting than a description of sunlight or something equally bright. You can get dark for me. Just think outside the box and have fun.
VeneVedeVici is my Co-Judge.

I have extended it to August 31st, By the way could you do me a favor and let the author of "A summer...Filled with Prodigy and Nine cats" know that I am not able to read their entry as I am 14.

I sure will tell the author, but please tell why, as it is not adult rated. In fact, it is only about a pregnant cat.
Thanks for the extention. A very good contest.
