Hi! (waves energetically) This is summer sighs, or as some people know me, maple the wacky tree. This account is solely for the purpose of winning a bet. I vowed to write a poem everyday of the summer, lest there be grave consequences. (DUN DUN DUUUUUN!) I had started doing it on my maple the wacky tree account, but then decided to move it. So I'm going to be here for a little while. Please, please review! I need to know which poems work, which poems need work, and which poems should never see the light of day. oh, and if you ever have any suggestions for poems, please don't hesitate to PM me. I would love any kind of feedback, no matter what it is.

Hmm . . . summer lasts somewhere around ten weeks . . . about seventy poems . . . (sweat drops) could prove to be an . . . interesting challenge.

UPDATE!! Phew! Summer's finally over. Results? Total number of poems . . . 72. Total number of missed days . . . 2. Ahhhh, yes, I wasn't able to write a poem everyday of summer. But heck, there's always next summer. I'll try again, I guess. Until then, this account's gonna be pretty inactive. But reviews are still appreciated. Thanks to all who supported me throughout this bet!
