at night, i think about summer of my childhood, osthamus scented whispers in the air, air in the osthamus whispers cloudy skies, muddied tracks mango leaves fallen wayside, with the promise of summer lingering in the air
the smallest moments sometimes leave the heaviest imprints. does it? or is it simply because those moments are only moments memories, only staying as memories
these are summers that have found a home inside my heart a cove i visit again and again and again because no matter how many summers came after none was quite the same

Hi @Apricity! "pearlescent light" is such a lovely and sonorous phrase. I also adore that summer poem. The repetition of the words within lines feel like echoes or sounds carried over by the wind, which seems to resonate with the theme of memory. I also really like how you position specific images like "mango leaves" in a way that really grabs the attention.

The way you bring to light just these precise gorgeous images is so lovely Apricity - I particularly liked the line that Lim already highlighted and also this

there's so much to that phrase and then its context in the poem seems so thoughtful too. <3 Good luck in the final week here!
you should know i am a time traveler & there is no season as achingly temporary as now
