Skimming a Pond on a Hot Summer Day

poem while in the university

The hot sun flew over my curls and I

Took the dainty pink daffodil

Wind never played on my blonde curls as I

Picked the rose until

I quacked and Phoebus’ horse-drawn chariot

Is already above me

Little grasshoppers rested in their moat

And I swam in their sea. 

 

A hot summer day

Skimming on a pond

Discovering – what

My childhood just can’t 

 

A hot summer day

Skimming on a pond – 

And again, and again, and again before – 

This moment end.

I am addicted to your poetry. There is just something about your writing that captivates me. Imagery is thing that you're best at... Never let go of the ability to captivate a reader with that.
