Summer

Summer

A Poem by Ross Davison

 

when she speaks,
her nose dips
pulled toward pursed lip,
 
she radiates
 
late afternoon haze
                                 sun setting breezy glow,
orange
             cream slow flesh
vanilla
breast sip
               
                    of fresh lettuce
       spits spring dew
                                   dawn lawn.
                                         freckle candy grin,
cascades
                ocean,
     sun tan    lotion air.
 
her hair cleft over   ear lobe smooth,
pierced diamond hoops glisten rainbow sparks
 
with the top down rush trail i n g locks
whipped in wind.
 
wild crass gleam cornea shine
 
she                     (with breath of lilac babies)              
laughs
 
at my self-deprecating
bashful boy wit,
 
(her luscious hips
                     
                     entices my arms to envelop her     against me)
                      
with every restrained nerve,
 
i photograph this moment of
 
 
Her

Wow, this made me feel in the middle like I was only getting slips and glimpses and allowed me to almost fill in the blanks. I love the way you did 'trailing' with the 'i n g' just making the word read and resemble exactly what it is supposed to convey. Just great and unconventional rhyme and flow, 'fresh...breast...lettuce' being an example and it is only evident when read aloud in some cases.
Stumbled upon this and glad I did, very well done.

damn. um. i love this. LOVE THIS.

i'm a sucker for endings. and you kicked this ending out of the park.

"she radiates late afternoon haze sun setting breezy glow,"

love what you had going on here... i can tell you're... experimenting... and it's working! very eecummings, very ... very awesome. i think i'll have to throw this in my library :) it inspires me to work like this more often... more from the heart.. from the randomness of our souls and our smiles :)
fantastic piece
