You & summmer

 


You are wrapped in clouds

Wearing a face mask

Feet to the stars, and moon-skulled

You reel in fishbones & blues

While reading palms of dreamers



I pen my canvas

with the last of summer warmth

My feet on fallen crab apples

Caterpillared by sudden rain 

Clowning happiest with sounds of your laughter 




Line:   Feet to the stars, and moon-skulled

from You're by Syliva Plath

  2. I love the chosen line and how you weaved it with your words, especially those fishbones & blues. The end of summer is magnificent this year where we live.

  3. I nearly paired ‘feet to the stars’ with ‘moon-skulled’ but in the end I went for ’A clean slate, with your own face on’. ‘You are wrapped in clouds / Wearing a face mask’ made me think of a cosmic pamper session, Grace, and I love the idea of reeling in ‘fishbones & blues / While reading palms of dreamers’. The second stanza is so joyful.

  9. This is beyond beautiful, Grace. Oh, my! The imagery, the terminology, the choice of lexicon, you've intrigued my mind's eye greatly! It's such a delightful piece to read from start to finish. I especially love the positive connotations in the second stanza. Wonderful and masterful work. Your writing style is a treat.
