Someone left summer poems outside their front yard - take one! - and invited others to leave a summer poem behind.
Here's the poem that went home with me - it's by Mark Twain:
Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here.
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.
Green sod above,
Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.
Here's the one I left behind:
Summer moon dangles
among the fireflies -
fishes reflecting light
dart across the pond
into darkness.
Putting Mark to shame.
ReplyDeletenaw - I was thinking i could put more of the warmth, heart, and casual language Mark Twain mastered into my own work -
