In the soft, lush green,
I settle under the welcoming shade of a tree,
gazing up at the endless, sparkling sky
accompanied by clouds, stretched and faded.

A gentle breeze plays with the shadows,
swaying them back and forth, slowly.

The sun glows with the warmth
of a friend,
enveloping me in summer bliss.

This paints a good image of summer. I would use a wider vocabulary for your adjectives. Also, the poem seems a little rushed and choppy. I think this is a very relatable topic. Good job overall.

Its simplicity makes it beautiful. Fantastic work! However maybe use words that aren't so common, so the idea of "Summer Bliss" doesn't seem as ordinary.

I like this a lot.  It describes what you're trying to convey beautifully. A little choppy, but overall it's gorgeous writing! (:

This was very well written.  I really liked the image you chose. It helped me picture the words more easily.

&quot;Think, before you speak. Know, before you react. Love, before you hate. There is far too much anger and hatred in the world for you to be the cause of anymore.&quot;

There is a beautiful imagery about the piece that allows you to vizualize. Some phrasing seems a little choppy creating small gaps in the image. But it paints a beautiful picture, you really are an artist with words.

&ldquo;Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.&rdquo;<br /> <br /> <br /> ― Dalai Lama XIV
