Nature’s Seduction
Hostas unfurl leafy tongues,
lick the dew,
quench their thirst.
Submitted to Jingle’s Poetry Potluck where this week’s theme is Nature: http://jinglepoetry.com
I will be offline this week but will do my best to visit when I return.

Thanks for your visits and for the piece for “Dispatch.” I did use it and gave you credit with link. If you didn’t get a chance to check it out, you my try to. The interview with Anna Montgomery is most interesting. Think you will like it.
Take care, Victoria!

Hostas do look like they have tongues! Nice observation, Liv. My sister’s partner is obsessed with hostas, knows just about every variety… and they are all lovely – and thirsty! Amy

Tangible and evocative … well done!
Thanks, Victoria, for your comment on my poem about Amy Winehouse. I didn’t follow her music, either, just the sad trail of misadventures. I think that under all of that weird get-up, she was an extraordinarily beautiful young woman with a God-given talent. Clearly her family loved her and are devastated by the loss.
I was interested to read about your religious background — always nice to meet another Catholic poet! 🙂
