July passes like a sore thumb                      
spiteful bastard rules the winter

and i’m alone

save for the mist of fishes
that crease the sea like a
well read book
and i am beached
a blubbering whale in all
my blue garments  
      
dumped

and the days drag the moon
that irre-place-able moon      
sigh
i hold it like a bell in my eyes

and it too will leave

leave me with yellow stars
in the distance


take bread away from me, if you wish, take air away. but do not take from me your laughter.

Maree

I would love to have some cool sea air right now!!  Your poem is so well done, as always!

smiling and nodding

(a shower, though, some talcum and a fan worked wonders)

I, too, am crossing off the numbers of July.

Well well now.  That was fascinating.  I really enjoyed that one.  For some reason...I saw the face of an old "boyfriend" in that poem.  Hmmm...I wonder what that can mean...HaHa!

Hmmm... I believe those eyes hold the moon and the stars, and I'm thinking it'll take more than July to diminish that sparkle.

God, Maree, you have this truly brilliant elusive way of writing that leaves one with the feeling of nearly being kissed.  

As if I could just turn a page here and there would be more, but there isn't, not right now there
isn't and THAT is what makes you passionate in writing and in life.

Please never stop this . . . it is a gift.

You do know that you're a joy to read, don't you? I've never read a poem of yours that was less than inspiring...and this one's up there with the best of them.

Isnt it a bummer when the good weather leaves?
I like this poem. I could almost put music to it.

May the winds sweep through the moonless sky....

I agree, much better to be immersed in the sea than beached!  You're amazing, don't forget it!   ....jo

G'day Maree.  What I wouldn't give for a little winter at the moment.  Temperatures here in most of Oz are very high and only for my fridge being stocked with a good supply of beer I'd probably feel like a sore thumb too.  Enjoyed your sentiments.

Hugging you for this...
and thanking the grey for
bumping you back
to where you belong...

always at the top!
