On Holiday

Blue
looks good
on summer
unplanned sorrow
twining like garland
round the solidest pine
deciduously backward
engorged with acid-twinkly light
whitewashed birdbath needs little water
in end times no one sings Christmas carols

    A little scary this morning, Marian. "Acid-twinkly light" reminds me of Timothy O'Leary, 'end time singing' reminds me of the songs we sang at Mom's funeral.
    How much maintenance does a birdbath require?

    I love "unplanned sorrow twining like garland...."

    "twining like garland
    round the solidest pine"

    Very sharp image. Screams of Bastille Day just gone

    Much love...

    Summer is not a season for sorrow but emotions and occurences are not seasonal
