Summer Cotillion
Virginia Salter

grasses
full of seed
wave their perpendicular
across cyclone diamonds
recording the width,
breadth
and pace
of morning breeze

long, green stems
topped in golden kernels
dancing
in rhythm
moved by the spirit
of Mariah

lacy forest-fern
flags rubekiah
with kisses and caresses
in the morning sun

though steadfast
to mother earth,
they oscillate in pure joy
of lovely sun’s rays
and wind’s power shared

Beautifully written. Sounding like the perfect day. I swear we had one yesterday, they come about twice a year here in NH.

come now, Sandra, I was in NH in Sept/Oct 98 and I loved both days there, what a beautiful state you have...of course I was in the southern portion of the state doing a fall foliage tour of New England. Perhaps you're more northern. Anyway, I was near ready to moreve to Maine, New Hampshire or Vermont and join the wondrous fodder for poets of American history.

thanks for reading and commenting!
