Dog Days Sultry oppressions Heavy lie of night On blankets of dry earth Such that even crickets complain That legs rubbed together Do not bring mating calls But friction adding Risk of over heated words Late summer holds tight The parched throat of garden Choking life from beauty With strangling denial of even dew I rise early now To catch at least a glimpse Of peaceful repose on your face Hoping for showers to move through On fronts traveling slow Dog days Wear thin the facades Of lush promise I once heard Fall with tinking delight from the bow Of your upturned lips Anticipating Wet welcome I have found Drought |

...and 'tis everywhere, it seems, except in the corners of our minds, where we still water thoughts in promise of gardens to flower... welcome home, Cap'n. |

Hi Ron Enjoy the way nature mimics life in your poetry. A view through draught into the way your heart feels. It's good to see you posting again. |

Many thanks to all that took the time to read and comment!!!! Business seems to be much in the way of me writing and spending time here with only the occaisional scribble crossing this feeble mind of mine....and even less often me having the opportunity to drop into this wonderful place and share it. I do read the poems from time to time still amazed at the wonderful writers here...and the wonderful feeling of family that seems to be present. I miss the interaction with all of you.....but feel blesssed to know this place is here..and that all of you share the talent you have in such a free and giving way. Again....many thanks to you all....your comments given in spite of my lack of attention to this place and the works of all is indeed a precious gift to me these days... I would taste the words as they rolled off my tongue some salty from tears shed others bitter with experience or melting sweat as if all love was rolled in confectioners sugar and life indeed was a treat. All indeed leave me wanting more and you dear friends have fed my appetitite for beauty. |

Well I guess you should have been in Michigan, last Thursday night, Ron... We had the mother of all thunderstorms along with tornadoes, and stuff flying around. I loved your poem.  ~ hugs from a chipmunkLyra |
