summer

the coarse summer rains
cut my skin

the harsh summer winds
scald my lips

the cruel summer rays
blind my eyes


but you, O love,
burned
my heart

some say spring is the season of love , you reinforce my belief that it is summer ...

[John Jackson (El Juero)]

Now this is good! wonderful descriptions leading to a startling end.

[Nothing Personal]

Someone in love with Zooey Deschanel? Me too after I saw the movie, but can't be a loser like Joseph Gordon-Levitt.. Interesting poem, but is it after the movie, after all?

the last line was brutal..500 days of summer eh?? have always liked short poems..the tone of accusation and betrayal are beautifully brought out in this one..

[Christie Moses]

this is so brilliantly painful and really quite poignantly beautiful. So much said in such a short space. I loved this one.

[An owl on the moon]

What a vastness to summer's heat.. painful and cruel, cutting deep, just as love scorches as well.. too deeply for words. Stunning write.

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

such a gorgeous flow of natural elementals burying themselves through the human movement of this love~

[BriAnna Wyble]

[Lily Mae]
