Dreaming Of Summer While Approaching Winter

Posted by Dynamaso on May 27, 2011 - 06:02
from the ABC set Poetry & Song Lyrics

Days like a sweet ripe orange,
waiting for me to suck the juice from it
and snack on the fibrous pulp.
As the sun sinks into a mandarin sea,
I will squeeze the last of it
Into a vodka’d glass and swallow it down
in one boozy gulp.

I can almost taste your summer, Mark. I do hope your dreams of it keep you going over the next few months. In the meantime back here, we are all praying for that long-overdue 'barbecue summer';-)

Lovely poem.

I can relate to this. I would like summer all year round. As I am on the other side of the world we are having summertime here and I would rather not think of winter. But your summer sounds delicious as you have described it in this poem.

Tina, I hope you get the summer you desire. It has been a very cold start to winter for us here - it has been the coldest May in 41 years here, although nowhere near as cold as you all get, thankfully. Glad you liked this piece.

Pia, as I said in the 'Where Are You From?' forum post, my wife and I would love to be living in the tropics, with winter a distant memory only prompted by national weather reports.

Maisie and Poncey, one glass of glorious summer coming up :)
