SUMMER Poems

To kick off Summer 2021 on Keep In Touch, our Daily Participants were challenged to come up with a poem using the letters in the word SUMMER. Everyone did a great job and there were lots of different styles. Some used one word for each line, while others wrote a sentence or maybe just a short phrase. In poetry there is no wrong way to do it!
