Spring: Wrap ... or Rap?

Spring, you’re nice,

But Summer's cool.

Spring, you have spice,

But Summer makes me drool.

 

Spring, you have flowers,

But Summer you can chill.

Spring, you've got power,

But Summer brings the grill.

 

Now, Spring, you offer trees,

But Summer busts out heat.

Spring attracts more bees,

But Summers can’t be beat.

 

Spring, you’ve got school,

But Summer, there’s no study.

I’m not saying school’s not cool,

But Summer, you hang with buddies!

 

Spring, until next year!

I like your poem because it rhymes and makes me hungry because I love BBQ kabobs!  :D

Sorry, I took too long to reply, I've been traveling across China, but it's kind of sad that Labor Day is coming up. The last day of Summer, the last days of fun, the last BBQ kabobs ... they're all gone until next year. Maybe I should make a rap about Summer going into Fall.

Very nice poem! Summer is my favorite season.

I love your ABAB rhyme scheme, and the personification about spring and summer was exceptional. Your rap was in second person view, which is different from most poems, and the title had a skillful hook with homophones. Next time, you might want to add a picture about summer to balance out the two seasons. Frankly, as a non-poem guy, I wouldn't have read it if it weren't for the title. Hope you write more raps!

Well, Erikw, I ddi add a picture of Summer beach scene, but it ended up on the cutting room floor (it got edited out by Youngzine). We have no power over what pictures they choose. :(
