Thank you, Cassie Hughes.
Next subject: Reunion
Deadline: June 13th
Congratulations North Star!
When bonds were freshly made
Before the internet
Another lover got between
The two as one, no longer seen
As one with much regret.
On Facebook after decades
Much older than before
She asked if she could be his friend--
Just one and one? Not two! Pretend?
They’re not friends anymore.
Centuries have faded.
The sand blows swiftly by.
They laugh at how they acted then.
Their dreaming seemed so futile when
They made each other cry.
Bump! 5 more days to submit.
Thank you, Steph.Quote:

Sorry to tarry, dear, I'd hoped to endure well...
Was it only a moment that we've been apart ?
Perhaps from your perspective, for me - not so much
You passed in your prime: Oh ! How I've longed for your touch !
But here we are together, and now we can start -
To join all our dear ones, Temple worthy all
Brought to the fold by the Shepherd, whom He did call
Sealed for time and all eternity, His fulness received
Fulfilling our Father's plan, pre-mortally conceived

Two fine entries. I'll award the prize to YesNo.
Congratulations YesNo !
Thank you, North Star! And thanks, tailor STATELY. I enjoyed your poem.
The next topic is summer.
Deadline hopefully June 30th.
Summer (14.6.17.)
The trees are wearing their best leafy green,
Flowers blooming in the heat of summer,
People drinking beers, recall places seen.
Briefly, all marching to their own drummer -
So, go ahead now, and fulfill your dream,
Or lie back and have a bowl of ice cream -
Too soon, it’s all over – what a bummer!
SUMMER: An Acrostic
Summer sszzzles
Under a bright yellow balloon
Malevolent to the snowflakes who risk
Melodrama as they bake; blank stars in their eyes
Everyone down to the seashore! - watch the icebe-
Rgs go by !

Two entries! Thank you! Now it is a contest. There is still a week to go before the June 30th deadline. There is still time to enter.
Time is up! Thanks, North Star and tailor STATELY. I liked the "bummer" ending in yours, North Star and the "icebe-/Rgs" in yours, tailor STATELY.
And the winner is tailor STATELY!
Congratulations!
Thank You !
The next subject is a Lighthouse.
Deadline midnight PDT 17 July.
Good luck.
Congrats, Tailor!
Rocky shores hold mysteries
From deadly seas.
They lead astray
When night hides day.
We need not calculate the risk.
The wind is brisk.
The waves beat on
Through night till dawn.
These lights are like a guiding star,
We’ll journeyed far
Till we’re back home.
For now we roam.
