Mystery Poet,
You did an exceptional job in the penning of this beautiful Sonnet for this writing prompt.
Nature's beauty is a joy to behold in June with all the joy that fills the air; beautiful flowers, children's smiles, fun vacations, and so much more.
Excellent rhyming throughout with a very smooth flow, allowing for a most enjoyable read.
Thanks for sharing; the very best to you in the contest.
Blessings...Portia

This is a beautiful and well written sonnet celebrating the month of June and the ushering in of summer. The imagery is lovely: "soft wind that will caress us with its heat". Really enjoyed it.

Thank you for your nice comments. I find sonnets hard but they are fun at the same time. Thank you for reading my poem.

Hi,
This is an excellent sonnet, written with care to be in the vein of a good sonnet. Iambic pentameter and 10 syllables per line with three quatrains and a couplet. Your Volta was spot on.
A perfect tribute to June in your finely crafted sonnet.
Best to you in the contest!

Comment from MissMerri
A truly beautiful sonnet, with many strong and lovely images throughout. It fits the prompt perfectly, even mentioning when summer will begin. I especially loved the closing couplet, because I am SO tired of masks, not just for me, but tired of seeing them on other people. Enough, already! My only concern is that the last line is not in iambic pentameter and while I have no problem at all with a bit of poetic license, I worry that it might hinder someone's vote. If you added one unstressed syllable in front of the word "maskless" you would be fine. Something like "We're" or "All" would work but you will perhaps have a better idea. Anyway, I do love this poem and want it to get a ribbon in the contest. MM

Thank you for this nice review. To be honest, I'm not very good at writing sonnets of any kind, so I appreciate your input. I'll look it over and learn something. Thanks again for taking the time to read and review my poem. :)

Comment from RodG
I am very impressed with your sonnet which summarizes what June is all about: the beginning of summer, a lovely time when Nature is at her best, and a time we all enjoy swimming, hiking and picnics. A fine sonnet in the Shakespearian tradition and with flawless meter. Rod

What a beautiful sonnet! Omg! I just love summer! I love the colors as well. It reminds me of lilacs, my favorite flower. We really do create some of the best memories in the summer. Well done!

Comment from tfawcus
A good sonnet for the contest and one that celebrates the coming of summer and all the joy it brings. A purist might be looking for a stronger turning point in the third stanza, but your closing couplet packs a punch.
