Reviewing photos from summers past. Especially like this one from Buncrana, Ireland.
summer heats up the shallows*
still dew in the grass
catalpa leaf in sunwash
summer heats up the shallows
warms the deep water as we cross
toes feeling carefully
for each cool stone

Just a brief note to thank people for continuing to look into the texts I post here. It means a lot to me to know of your interest. Many will know already that I also have a presence on commercial social media apps where I'm also locatable as William Bain Poetry. Some of these apps are undergoing changes I and many other users don't like, and on that theme I merely want to say that I am currently looking further afield at different platforms. Also, finally, I am still very pleased to be a member of the Blogspot Community. And again, thanks for your support.
A picture taken some years back: The town of Derry, Ireland, from the Peace Bridge. Hoping, of course, for more peaceful scenes all over our beleaguered planet....
Thanks to Jack Caradoc and the staff at Dreich for including some of my recent poems in Dreich's Issue 3, Season 8, No. 87.
(a kind of poetry of place) :
Chicago
those tremendous bust years those
dances in those intown college rooms
people can be tremendously giving
even in the city
fight the repetition principle
as much as well you one day do fight
minuet laughter at sight of holiday mask
as silently as perhaps tears another’s
