Must summer always start with
sleet pounding car windows
umber earth caked beneath fingernails
marriage of roots and dead soil
maybe this year the snapdragons will survive the rabbits and the deer
every day last week it rained but i think i see
rays breaking through gray

My favorite lines😁
“the snapdragons will survive the rabbits”: the sound of it makes me see rabbits hopping through the snapdragon patch
Thank you!🐰
A great and timely acrostic…
Thank you, glad you noticed it was an acrostic!
I love how you can see summer emerging in the push and pull of each line. I especially loved “marriage of roots and dead soil” for its contrast of marriage and death, a union amidst an ending. Well done : )
Thank you very much! I loved writing that line!
