Poetry at the Post: The Last Days of Summer and Peaches!

From Blossoms
BY LI-YOUNG LEE
From blossoms comes
this brown paper bag of peaches

Li-Young Lee’s poem is a luscious poem. It moves from the “bite into/ the round jubilance of peach” to joy and death then circles back to the beginning, or the blossoms of the peach.  Check it out here. 

Here’s another “peach” poem:

Peach Farm
BY DEAN YOUNG
I’m thinking it’s time to go back
to the peach farm or rather
the peach farm seems to be wanting me back

Actually, I could go on and on with “peach” poems and “peach” art. The peach seems to be inspirational. But, instead, I’ll end with this photo of a peach-bourbon (yep, some bourbon for a bit of a kick!) pie baked yesterday by Baker John at the Casa 300 Bakery & Literary Salon  in Mano Prieto, a few miles north of Marfa, TX.
