aromatic spring
November 9, 2011 ‘Peltoma Lake’ Jane Tims
~
meadow aromatic
~
ozone lightning, late
waters cede, shoots
of cattail merge
end of day, end of June
fireflies, mosquito nights
~
lake-land meadow seeps
wetland meets nostril
marsh musk percolates
half sour, half sweet
methane ooze, decay
~
damp fiddleheads unfurl
bird beaks simmer
in duckweed soup
skin of salamander, frog
steeplebush, meadowsweet
~
angels crave human years, allow
their pores release, scent imitates
reek of sweat, of work
tears mingle with perfume
aftershave and powder
~

Hi Neil. The standard in our writers group is so incredibly high, it would not necessarily be an insult to be kicked out. And of course I would be your friend. After all, you do comment on my Blog! Jane
