SUMMER SOLSTICE
For Take A Word: summer flowers. All images are from Rebecca McMeen. The poem is mine:
***
Summer Solstice Sitka 1993
This day blooms
under wide meadows
of sky. We lay
our sun-stunned bodies
in constellations
of clover and buttercups.
Salmonberry bubbles
of sweet red light
break on our tongues.
Shooting stars
in the flowerbeds,
pollen in our sheets.

lovely! xo
I can’t begin to describe how much I love this! The poem is wonderful as well, and beautifully scripted. I like the bits and pieces, the white spaces and the watercolor effect. Just simply spectacular! Bravo!
Me again. I have appreciated your work for a while at our various challenge sites, but this is the first time I’ve read any of your poetry. I liked the one on Summer Solstice so much I searched others out and enjoyed them immensely. You have a great talent with words!
This is exquisite! I love it a lot. Beautiful and creative design and a wonderful poem to go with it. Fantastic.
So so stunning, soft and dreamy, loving it!
