Congratulations on winning the contest. How idyllic both your writing and of sharing your summers with your grandfather. The images you put to pen, put your reader on the front porch.
Best wishes and congratulations again.

Such a worthy winner for this contest - stanzas that embody and recall all the very best things about childhood summers - especially that summer 'would always end too soon'-

Comment from Wayne Fowler
Nice picture - and I'm not talking about the painting.
Not knowing the rules of poetry, I wouldn't know what worked and what didn't. I probably shouldn't have offered to review poetry at all; but I'm glad I did.

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
The story about you and your grandpa is very familiar. We did much fishing, too, when I got older; not always got the catch of the day, but we tried. And then your g'pa had pets to keep you company. Dogs are a man's best friend they say.

I'm so glad I have a 6 left. This poem is exceptional in every respect. In addition to being skillfully written, with excellent rhyme and meter, it is vividly descriptive of those summer joys with your grandfather. You have included wealth of wonderful details that made me smile. BRAVO!
