The South and the Summer, the Sun
The land lies stunned sun-blasted
Pulsing far out hazy days lazy days
Shimmers and shifts mirage tricks
And bold as gold brazen brass
Essence of yellow, heads up
Look you in the eye, proud to be out
The psychedelic sunflowers stand
Serried ranks, ready to sing and to zing
The south and the summer, the sun
Hallucination drug-free trip
A walk at the end of the day
Clinging to shade to coolness of glade
Filling the senses and flexing the soul
The ochres, siennas, the Prussian, the rose
A palette a painting a poem
A snap for the album, mind’s eye
Make me bold give me voice, inspire
For I’m ready to sing and to zing
The south and the summer, the sun

Hi Sally!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy, happy poem! If only we could be sun-blasted in England just now! Sunflowers? What are they?
Anway, yes, I have opened a blog for poems, and full of faith that at least Clare will join in too, I've called it

Hope you don't mind your poems being on it! I've really enjoyed them all so much, and as I said, you've really kick-started me after years of not writing anything down! I'm so grateful!
Lots of love,
Jenny
