Solstice Weather

[Richard Blaisdell]

Now, tomorrow climb ladder ,

Turn on light. Longer days ahead.

Dark days behind.

[Jonathan Potter]

Amen, Richard, thank you

[Sara Siegler]

“… to the frayed hem of cloud cover

on the golden horizon”. I love that image! Thanks. 🙏

[Jonathan Potter]

Thank you Sarah 🙏

[Ann Collins]

a blade of light from its furthest point

cutting the tumor of darkness

Made me catch my breath--wow.

[Jonathan Potter]

Thank you, Ann …

[Dylan Delgado]

Really like the imagery in this poem. The last 3 lines are chilling, but also show a glimmer of hope as we emerge from the shortest day of the year.

[Jonathan Potter]

Thank you, Dylan, your summary of the last three lines is exactly right.

[Fred Hanson]

Very nice final stanza

[Jonathan Potter]

Thanks Fred 🙏

[Rod Bluhm]

We’ll emerge from the darkness

caught up in the cold and starkness

of the landscape that surrounds us

making other thoughts superfluous

I love how descriptive your poem is, Jonathan. It’s always a pleasure to read your work.

[Jonathan Potter]

Thanks, Rod — I like your rejoinder

[Rod Bluhm]

Anytime, Jonathan. Thank you.
