Summer Rispetto

SUMMER RISPETTO

Each evening rain clouds wrung out and put on line
to dry out in the blistering fever sun.
The twilight child bubbles up with tears and whine
as Summer storms signal that the day is done.
The jagged night brightens and loud priggish swine
sound off — the climatic Gettysburg of guns.
The Southern gentlemen in electric fight
astride the hidden stars until the sun bites.

Aqua Marine Date: 7/28/2018 6:37:00 AM I love this enigmatic rispetto, Kim- ambiguous artistry here- I cant claim to understand it- but it " sounds down " in a dramatic way- especially appreciated " The twilight child bubbles up with tears and whine...( an overtired toddler?)
