 Tunnel of Love

Journaling: The romance of summer! What do you love? Write about anything you feel sentimental about or that gets your heart pumping.

Creative: Write a love poem to anyone or anything you like

I love the light. Living in Sweden, summer means white nights, and there is something special walking outside at night, with the stillness and the scents, but no darkness. I love soft summer rains, like today, when the air smells wonderful, and the sounds of raindrops on the roof makes me feel sleepy and content. I love spending time in the summer house in the archipelagio outside Stockholm, in the house my grandfather built, and my grandmother filled with art. Now my mother is adding her own. There is no better place in the world for me to be.

 

I’m not poetry minded, so no poem.

Thanks! Unexpectedly easy o write, as i don't really like summer much. But thinking about it, it's actually just the heat i can't stand. :)

I love the light too, I replied to you elsewhere about it. I hate long months of almost complete darkness. The longer the day, the better.🌞

[scripsi]

Yes, the dark really weighs me down too!

[kitarella_imagines]

It's not fun at all is it. Hooray for the summer!🥂

This kind of ode to summer is exactly what I had in mind when I wrote this prompt! You've captured that summer feeling perfectly. I would love to experience a white night some time!

Your family is fortunate to have that depth of place.

How soft and utterly lovely!
The way you wrote about your life experience transported me to the images and memories you described.
You might not feel very poetic minded, but this genuinely almost felt like poetry to me.
Summer in your side of the globe sounds magical!
