Harvest

[hack]

Orb spiders weaving silence
no cloud, no reason
reptile lethargy and basking veranda

Honeysuckle dripping bees
sweet spicy ganja
and clicking ice in lemonade

I loved this for the visceral quality of it! Thanks.

Love this line: no cloud, no reason. As an abstraction it weaves in so nicely with the rest of the poem.

Six perfect lines describing a lazy afternoon in a desert corner far away from the hail and wind we're currently experiencing here.

I thought the image of the honeysuckle 'dripping bees' was superb - most, even if they had been able to come up with the image, would have inserted 'with' between the two words and made the phrase less memorable.

Masterful point: an illustration of the difference between a perfectly adequate image - and a memorable one.

The images are presented with masterful minimalism, hack. Truly evocative of summer heat which is most welcome as the temperature plummets.

Live long and prosper. H

Bump.

Really love this hack. It's really beautiful, was really good to read. Thank you

The words like the honeysuckle dripped off the tongue to the clicking of the ice. It was a joy to read.
