Sunlight is dogmatic
Stubbornly insisting
On the optimistic rosy tint
That stings skin at the beach

Well seeing as I am of African American/ Indian descent I can only imagine the horror. But nonetheless I like it all the same. Congrats.

Oh Star!! Congratulations on the publication! Totally deserved! This one is exceptional. I LOVE when you call the Sun "dogmatic" And all the rest of it is pretty awesome too, I just don't know how to praise it more except for the fact that I mostly DO NOT love summers but this one actually made me quite cheerful about it :))

The imagery is great in this piece. It also made me laugh because I deal with sunburn every time I walk outside. Good job!

The poem is great. Even though the poem doesn't rhyme, it feels like it does. It has a definite beat and voice. I would really appreciate it if you could check out some of my poems. Thanks.
