Georgia Summers

 

Georgia Summers

 

 

Georgia summers

were as piquant as

a mint julep in July.

Languid days of skinny-dipping,

where temperatures were as high as

the traversing of hands

 underneath a skirt

of fettered gauze.

not sure who pulled this gem up from the vaults, but hell am I glad they did! Pure Southern comfort

[Kelly Scheppers]

Oh yes, a little southern comfort. Good for the soul, isn't it? Thanks so much, Ken!

[emmajoygreen]

Brevity, beauty and basic yearning hand in hand in your poem, Kelly. You truly are a Wonder Woman with a quill!

[Kelly Scheppers]

I'm glad you took the journey back for this one, Em. Your kindness and generosity are much appreciated!

[emmajoygreen]

Thank you for saying so.. but having lost touch for a while, I hope to catch up and up til I'm full!

Wow . . . wouldn't have thought you would take us where you were going when I started reading.
Must say the images are strong . . . and the right word choice. Good poem.

Back to leave points!-forgot!

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Exquisite and elegantly sensuous. Great form, cadence, flow and lovely, lazy, lascivious (?) imagery. Brava Kelly!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Annette. It was most kind of you!

I'm gulping now. Sultry is not the word but as near as I can get damn it. I refuse to say Hot as its too crass.
So many things come to mind here. I am lifting my hat to wipe my face with my hankerchief like Rod Steiger.
thinking I look cool. I am listening to 'Somewhere down that crazy river'. I am swinging on the porch swing and I am watching the Summer of 42. And I am waiting for her to pass with a towel under her arm and that look in her eye.

Thank you Kelly for transporting me from a cold, cold night in sub-zero UK temps to balmy, sexy, sultry Georgia --- more lemonade in your Tom Collins my dear ...
