Loved the poem! Quite a lot you were able to explore with just a few short lines—both a good metaphor for summer, but also a deeper look at its nature and how we might compare. A good one to read over a handful of times.
I really enjoyed and savored your poem! You’ve brought the sweet spirit of summer , via the watermelon, into beautiful words, and they helped me give a big hug to the summer just as it’s leaving us.
you are my new favourite writer.
thank you SO much!!! that’s incredibly inspiring to keep writing and publishing :) I’m glad you found the newsletter!

Beautiful Claire--as always! Can't believe our series is coming to an end soon. It's been such fun to do this with you.
"Everything is meant for more."
Yes and amen, what a line.
PS Tell me who did that remarkable watermelon watercolor--it's beautiful!
I wish I knew! Normally I post art with the artist's name but in this case I found it on Pinterest with no source sadly :(
and thank you for reading!!
