the petaled bards of summer

 enter the house on thin legs
 gaze wide eyed at the small black piano
 mingle their perfume with the aroma of baked oats and honey
rest like swans upon the kitchen table 
and murmur poems in a language known only to ants.

Such realistic beauties--I can feel my allergies kicking in! All kidding aside, these are lovely, just like your words.

And thus the bard of Brattleboro tells it like it is, with exquisite images to accompany text, of course.

The images are all fine, brattcat, and I enjoy reading your poetic thoughts. You and I are so different . . .
