sleepy with quiet thoughts

on a quiet noon

spent in bandamer park

ann arbor, mi. usa

“summer quiet thoughts on summer quiet noons.”

Has the dreamy qualities of an Impressionist painting. Lovely.

Wonderful. You and Roethke (same):

A light song comes from the leaves.
A slow sigh says yes. And light sighs;
A low voice, summer-sad.

— Theodore Roethke, from section 5 of “Unfold! Unfold!” Words of the Wind: The Collected Verse of Theodore Roethke (Indiana University Press, 1964)

Hello I love this!
I wanted to share this post but something strange has changed on WordPress. Previously I could reblog you with no problem. Now it will not let me. Now it says I am not following you. When I try to refollow you it denies me access. Some rules chagned somewhere and I don’t know how to correct it. 😦 Douglas
