Hello everyone,

Summer is here and with it the need for great summer poems to read at picnics in the park or while sun-tanning on the beach. The next few weeks will explore the theme of summer in poetry, both from famous big-name poets, and contemporary poets.

If you have any suggestions, requests, or simply want to comment, be sure to check out the poetry forum (site link below).

Enjoy!

Here's the latest article from the Poetry site at BellaOnline.com.
