Summer Warmth Lento

Greet the heat with a smile
Meet all your summer dreams
Eat some corn and watermelon
Treat yourself to ice creams

Drink some homemade lemonade
Think of cool blue seas
Blink and suddenly, summer is over
Sink into melancholy

James Tate Date: 8/3/2011 6:17:00 PM Ahh, hot summer indeed. Now in August we are really feeling it. Good job.\ Thanks for your comments on my turtle poem. I tried to comment on your poem Where is Caylee, but for some reason it wouldn't accept it. I hope they find the perpetrator. Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 8/3/2011 12:42:00 AM Yes, this is the one I referred to in the email. How funny what you said about the tit. No, I didn't form the etheree to look that way. That's how all etherees end up looking if they are not centered! Also, that would be the tit of a cow with plastic surgery. hahaha Login to Reply

Andrea Dietrich Date: 7/23/2011 11:24:00 AM Susan, I am thinking more and more that you are MUCH like me!! I have a kyrielle in one of my chapbooks named Summer Dreams and I discuss a lot of this same stuff in kyrielle form in that poem!! So naturally I LOVE this one. Do you do many "form" poems? How long have you been writing! Login to Reply
