Excited with the summer of childhood

Summer in the eyes of children is always innocent and playful. Poet Nguyen Huu Quy felt that through the eyes of children, so everything appeared so innocent and bright. Like a kite filled with wind, intoxicated by the natural scenery and summer activities, the author poured out his heart to fly high with the children's souls. From there, the work evokes love for nature and the country, helping children enjoy a peaceful and useful break to continue studying and practicing when entering the new school year.

The poem is called "Summer Buzz", a very poetic and clear name. Because, through the eyes of the children, summer appears bustling, bustling, full of sounds and colors. Especially the sounds of birds, cicadas, flutes like an excited choir when summer comes. All have created a very bustling and emotional picture.

Reading throughout the poem "Summer Buzz", author Nguyen Huu Quy mentioned many things, thereby creating a rich and vivid picture of a summer day. Each thing has its own characteristics, described with unique words and images. That is the jackfruit with honey-yellow segments as if the brilliant summer had just "crawled in". The red sun high in the sky seemed to be "herding watermelons by the river". The bright red color of the royal poinciana flowers on the branches seemed to be strung with thousands of lanterns. From the fields, each branch of blooming rice was emitting a fragrant scent. The most vibrant and resonant was still the sound of birds "practicing their voices" with the summer and the sound of cicadas appearing and disappearing as if playing hide-and-seek somewhere. Finally, there was the image of a kite flying up with the sound of a flute whistling in the vast sky and earth, blending with the innocent souls of bustling children.

Of the four stanzas, the third stanza is the most impressive and stirring, it is a symphony of the bustling summer. Compared to the other seasons, the days of summer are usually longer, so the sun also "wakes up early". Summer wakes up, the birds chirp happily as if they are "practicing their voices". In addition, the children are resting and playing hide and seek, so it is no different from the sound of cicadas outside, calling the bustling summer back: "Summer still often wakes up early/Practicing their voices with the birds/Summer plays hide and seek/The sound of cicadas calls me".
