Summer Howls

like a round brass gong afternoon sun burns in sky~ tarmac road steaming dry leaves swirl around canals and pools lie distraught~ lands yawn, mouths open

Dearest Valsa, your imagery is just stunning and it puts me right in the middle of a hot and dusty summer road. You have such an amazing ability to create new, and fresh, imagery. I am always in awe of your gift! Every time I read one of your poems I know I am in for an exquisite poetic treat! Congratulations, dear friend! Blessings of cool summer breezes!
