He’s reading Wallace
Stevens again,
gray bare places spilled free; he
soaks them in,
clad only
in his own
saltwater skin.

whimsy, whimsy, enchanting image and piece!
Loving it, De. Wallace Stevens sometimes makes me feel like I’m drowning in words. LoL
Haha! Agreed. Thanks, Brenda.
Fabulous. Dang, you guys are so clever this week. Love it.
Well, I’ve learned something new – had to look up Wallace Stevens. Nice alliteration.
very nice, good tie in with the Steven’s piece
Mr. Stevens would like this…so do I…
ha…very well tied to stevens…..i second or third that appraisal of stevens as well…
Thank you all. I loved this fun visual. Very inspiring. 🙂
This is a nice beachy poem!
I would put a comma or hyphen after “soaks them in” only to give finality to that thought.
Thank you, anne katherine. Excellent suggestion. And done. 🙂
I think I’ll read some Stevens tonight. 🙂
Oh, yes…clad only in his own salt water skin!! Great one and I didn’t realize there was another mag…might have to wrangle this one before sleep. 🙂
Such a lot said, in so few words. Love it!
Perhaps you’re right; this may be the only way to read Wallace Stevens. 🙂
A safe place, this jar for reading fine poetry.
Like a wise old crocodile
Haha! LOVE that visual!
reading Wallace Stevens will do that to a person – love your take, De
