English Summer
by Angela StevensIn England there is a chill;
nothing but a spider-hiding chill,
spindly legs grinding & takes all good
warmth, like a true chill should.
A wave of hand like a shocking kiss,
I'm suddenly thinking of manic shows,
of passions and riddles, I only know
you never meant anything good; all
picnics in fog, even when it stops
I'm cold.
I'm not afraid to see a door closing, but
the rain.

| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 06/07/11 at 11:41 AM a lovely ode to dissipate any fog or chill. |
| Posted by Scott Utley on 06/10/11 at 01:07 AM Softly spoken with a fire-red heart. Oh boy, just when I didn't think I would make it after loosing my lover of 20 years and all three of my beloved animals within a few short months. I suddenly see how short life is but how terribly eternal it is too. And it is the feminine rising to such a momentous occasion - women are coming out from all over this cobalt orb of hope and tonight is just a little bit brighter now. Welcome. |

| Posted by Richard Vince on 06/12/11 at 10:12 PM mm. evocative stuff, especially "picnics in fog". a great contrast with the summer poem i posted the other day [which was written, incidentally, in January]. :) reading this on a day when the rain totally wiped out four of the five cricket matches in England feels strangely appropriate. :) welcome to Pathetic. :) |
