Chapter Seven

CHAPTER SEVEN
 


this seventh month… a handful of sun dust greets my aurora skin, touching every lace of foliage: buttered stems, blushing leaves, soft-boiled branches with upturned eyes silky in the veil of July’s palette face. farther on, i wanted to smell its rareness, how my own raw eyes pass behind occasional veins and wiggling ridges, wondering the maleness and femaleness of their palms receding then whirling underneath my feet ,receiving the ancient chant of some wild calm… how intangible this soft fire in my belly, splattering like auburn harvest of wheat thrusting unto air chambers of sun nymphet honored in all shades---the emerald, garnet, sapphire of paradise patch as if saved from the kaleidoscope of month’s past, slowly cuddling every sinner and lover the ember that feeds on harps and cancer -zodiac stones.
. . . . Contest no 300 Premiere

Nette, sometimes your work just leaves me in a puddle...melted and too relaxed and unwound to do anything but sip tea and rewind your words. This truly deserves the big win. Congrats! :-) Ummm, PS I wrote a tribute to Soupers and mentioned you in the title specifically ;-) If or when you have time, I'd so like you to read it. PPS- I used to be a huge loose leaf tea fan and after 2 years without finally purchased several bags from a place that reminds me of an apothecary shop. Spicey & sweet. :-)

wow, what a great way to write about the month of Cancer! Very beautiful, Nette. I loved how you described the plants beneath your feet. I wish I had time here to see more poems of yours and all the recent contest winners, but my weekends and Mondays are always this way. I have so little time. Later, ok? Luv, Andrea

Fantastic as usual.I like the way you magically sculpture words into lines. I admire your style! I had some setback that's why I was silent for a while but I'm now in good spirit. Cheers*
