A Very English Summer
by Paganini Jones
distant laughter
wine, notebook and pen by
my deckchair
cricket whites and
crack of leather on wood
strawberry cream tea
stroking the fur
she finds that bees sting.
toddler's first summer
knotted handkerchief
awry on old man's head
seaside nap
picnic on the lawn
set out for dolls
the cat stalks sardines

| Posted by Ken Harnisch on 07/12/11 at 03:21 PM Fascinating fragments that taken together, paint a complete and colorful portrait. I especially loved the first stanza and "the crack of leather on wood." For you it's cricket, for us it's baseball, and either way it's delightful! |
