and the magic of summer light
Brilliant imagery! The squash’s best sundress…the pollen dyed by sunshine…beautiful!
Thank you!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!
Ok, the squash’s sundress. That’s brilliant! The shape of it!
Thank you, friend!! I'm glad you saw that, too. I realized after writing that line that it actually went perfectly with the squash's shape!!
I love it too!
Thank you, Jennifer!!
I can see this so clearly!:
"and the straightneck squash in my friend’s garden
arrives plump, clothed in its best sundress
Honey trickles down from the hive,
dripping with tiny specks of light"
Thank you, Margaret. I was going for that !!
Also, props to US for persevering haha. I'm still catching up as well but excited for the final poems!!
OOH Rosa the rolling SOUND and rhyme you achieved in these lines brought such a rhythm that it felt like a song, love it!!
"But the marigolds, the goldenrods
blooming in their luster-filled colors, leave those to me,
to carry my soul through the darkness
after summer has gone to sleep"
such a joyful, color-packed poem!!
Thank YOU Claire, I've been so encouraged by this series and all the ways it has grown and stretched our poetry!! <3
Ending is golden.
