For what are the bones of summer?

 Hello and Happy Poetry Friday! Be sure to visit Buffy Silverman for Roundup.

I'm away from my desk today, summering with a friend. Don't you love summer adventures? Today's ArtSpeak: WOMEN speaks to the magic of summer. Wishing you all that—and more! Thanks for reading.


For what are the bones of summer?

craggy peaks / asleep
dreams / in bloom

  9. Dear Irene, you are always thinking of us, even AWAY with a friend of summer! Can't get enough of Georgia O's skeletal obsessions & your rendering. I see this pairing as . from beyond.. the animal dreams. Shivers me in the best way.
