I saw this on ~GainaSpirit's journal, and I was fascinated. But it's a picture challenge, and I'm not much of a visual artist. That's when I thought about how much fun it would be to write poems about these themes, instead.

EDIT

WE HAVE A WINNER!!! Congratulations, ~jmonahan! Now, we need more winners. So, keep writing. Summer's not over yet. And as an added bonus, I will put in bold the initials of anyone who finishes, so you'll be advertised 100 times all over this journal. Sounds pretty good for a few poems, yah?

Plus, I may make a special journal after summer, celebrating the winners, which I will leave up for months!!! But only if we have several winners. So keep writing, and have a great summer.
