Thank you for taking time to read my poem. I appreciate all of you who come here to read and comment.
First, I would like to thank Christine and David. Christine, thank you for the nomination to be PoW. David, thank you for your time and effort in organizing and bringing us the W3 poetry prompts each week.
This is a first for me (pun intended) 😊. Hosting a poetry prompt, I am humbled. I hope you all enjoy and I am excited to read the responses. Have fun creating!
Reminiscent Summertime
An echo poem
It all began with a glance
glance
A quick look that had me in a trance
trance
Butterflies in my stomach do a dance
dance
Not like the two-step but the Harlem shake
shake
My first adolescent crush
crush
Had my face all flushed
flushed
Suddenly cheeks turn beet red like blush
blush
Ah this puppy love, what a rush
rush
Holding hands at summer camp
camp
Eyes light up bright, like a lamp
lamp
Sweat beads on my forehead, damp
damp
Oh, I wonder if he thinks I’m a tramp
tramp
Only one thing is for sure
sure
Summer camp is nothing but pure
pure
Hot fun in the lush green land
land
One must experience it to understand
understand?

What a fun poem! And no mention of the bad food, the tipped canoe, or archery- a first in summer camp poems.
Thank you for the prompt; as said above, there’s enough leeway to find one’s own way with it.
So cute! I love it. Yours is about summer, mine about winter. 🙂
Hi O’Nika and congratulations on being our POW – your poem was lovely. Have fun being POW 💞Suzanne

Congratulations Nika on being our POW this week ..🌹🫶
Thank you, Michelle! 🙏🏽💕
I really enjoyed this prompt! I had to really read a few different examples to get into the “vibe” and I saw that there are a few ways to do the Echo poem, which is nice to have that little bit of leeway. Your poem is really good! I agree with you about the summer camp! I remember them all so clearly because they were so fantastic!
Christine, I’m right there with you. I read a few examples and that’s why I picked the echo. You can play around with it and have fun! Thank you for the kind words. I struggled a little trying to come up with an idea for the prompt. 🙏 As a child, I loved going to camp. It was a great time. 😊,
Lovely poem.
Indira, thank you! 😊🙏🏽
Congrats for being POW.
