the Goddess in the garden


                                                     Photo credit:   Margaret Bednar
Summer comes pitted fruit seeds, we savor its core like wine         
Dripping yellow thick, we pant like fishes out of the sea 
We strip clothes, mad as bees, wishing we don't have two arms & two feet !

    "We savor it's a core like wine" -- I really love that phrase; and I enjoyed seeing the silo form again,

    You have painted a perfect vision of the madness of summer, the heat, ripe fruit, and complete abandonment if we are lucky!

    Feet, in particular, get in the way of stripping off clothes. Fantastic written-in-BC poem making me think of BC beaches in the summer sun. Thank you!

    like the choice of photo, your soft humor, and capturing us, human, always complaining...
