Re: Summers Past – Poems of Remembrance / Regret
Cicadias Cidadas’ droning-droning-droning, rhythms sawing through layers of memories to summers in central Illinois...

A red ribbon is pinned

along the Arkansas River.

Re: Day 18: even if
powerful images - crumbling hummingbirds, DNA retreating to the stars (my version as I don't have your poem in front of me), trees forming sap for naught... Makes me ponder... What would I do today if this were happening around me? Thanks for sharing

crab apple tree
The crab apple tree
is loaded with pink blossoms.
A gust, and then... Poof!
The powder puff vision bursts
into talcum memories.

weeding
Yellow daffodils
peek now through knee-high weeds.
Poet must desist.
