This is such a gorgeous poem! I love the summer imagery and the second stanza.

some fine, fine elements here. very

fine. i'm uncertain about how the

gestalt gels, however; the theme

seems a bit airy.

Gorgeous! Of course, you know I have a weakness for poems about writing, as that seems to be a very common theme in my own writing, and then combining that with the beautiful images of summer (what a gorgeous season, seriously). Gah. I love it. That second stanza is amazing. Love love love. :) Keep writing! :)

Gorgeous. Simply gorgeous.

"She likes the vowels best,

pecking crystallized A's from salamander

before chewing up February whole."

This was genius.

sticky summer
