In fact, it's a recurring theme that you always seem to be able to keep fresh and brutally truthful. And again, I find myself re-reading your work to squeeze out the last bit of emotion.

I hate the idea of summer (oh, this heat & syrupy humidity!!) but then the grass turns neon green and the roses woo me with their intoxicating scents and I succumb each and every year to her charms. :-)<br /><br />Indigo is, to me, the most mysterious of colors. I read a book by Graham Joyce entitled, "Indigo" and it blew me away as did his books, "Dark Sister" and "Smoking Poppy". He's the only author I know whose each and every book is totally different from the last. <br /><br />Hang in there and stay cool. The poems will come. xoxo<br /><br />Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786883679294446945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-88895102062025276472013-06-18T15:06:20.446-04:002013-06-18T15:06:20.446-04:00Wow!
