About This Author
Writing poetry allows me to exercise my imagination and share it with others. I strive to write for the benefit of the reader using carnival fun mirror images of my life's experiences.
Ode to Summer
Summer enters
as spring's last days
entwine the season of sweat
to become a memory mirage
in the forlorn desert heat.

You enter the world
greeted by the sudden slap
of summer's hot wet towel
as if inflicted by
an ecstatic sadist.

You imagine a retreat
to the cooling waters
of rolling ocean waves
like a bronzed blonde surfer
speckled with sparkling droplets
each a silver prism
refracting the light of summer's sun
forever.
