Hey alliyah! Incoming review!
I see we have a lyrical poem here. Let me have a hand at it. Let's get on with the review!
Well, the thing I would critique would be the punctuation. The whole poem is a run-on sentence and I feel with lyrical either there is no punctuation, or there are periods at the end of thoughts and use commas. You use a period at the end that's seen before reading so I have this preconceived notion that this will be several sentences.
But that was my only complaint, let me praise your work here. Summer was and still is a season I dread. So I like seeing a poem about the not-so-nice parts of summer. I like the use of a bucket list in the poem. It's an odd phrase we use. And buckets can be used to catch the drips in a leaking roof. With each raindrop, there are things we want to do but will probably never will.
And my favourite imagery point was
In the words of Anikan Skywalker, "I don't like sand. It's all coarse, and rough, and irritating. And it gets everywhere." Sand is so small that it can get into any crevasse we didn't even know we had. And it gets under our skin as such summer trends seem to do all the time.and burn my toes on sandpaper beaches
But that's all I have for today! I hope you found some of it useful! I really really really liked this poem, even with how short it was. Keep writing! Anyway byeeeeeee<3
