In general I find this poet somewhat oblivious. I truly find it is without imagination.

Another cool (maybe I should say, hot?) poem offered to us today. As a former student stuck in a classroom and as a teacher observing daydreaming students, who cannot relate to this well-wrought picture? -GK

It is hard work during summer and 'A bronze slowness becomes him. Patently The page he contemplates he doesn't see.' is what most of us go through at that time. Very nice. Enjoyed.

A summer poem beautifully presented.. What were the crops, where were the fiery fields Where for so many days so many hours The sun assaulted him with glittering showers....very realistic

The poem has such a beautiful imagery. Nicely articulated. Freshness of expression. Thanks. His mind holds summer, as his skin holds sun. Expect a certain absence in his presence.
