Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

A Summer Vale

A Summer Vale

     Hints hailed she raised her ocher veils,
          Expose those enlightened from shade,
               Spun tales of yesterdays reveals,
                    Golden treasures anoint the blessed,
               The abandon of buttered skins,
          Urbane exodus blooms on roads,
     As summer vale blows saffron breaths.
