As summer lingers on a bit, thank you for this beautiful fall, yet floral, selection and equally inspiring commentary. Would that once again we could become a society that finds "voluntary pleasure" in poetry!
When I worked at a used bookstore in grad school, our boss would allow employees to borrow books on long-term loan. He stressed doing so for poetry, which was a surprisingly well-stocked section, and always made recommendations to us when something poetic came in. Every little bit helps the cause.
A lovely poem; the imagery is so clear and compelling. I appreciate your placing it in its context, as well.
