I’ve fallen behind on my summer reading and writing about Kooser’s Home Repair Poetry Manual. So today as I leave for a last weekend of summer fun, I leave you with a summer poem by one of my favorites.
Summer Song
By William Carlos Williams
Wanderer moon
smiling a
faintly ironical smile
at this
brilliant, dew-moistened
summer morning,—
a detached
sleepily indifferent
smile, a
wanderer’s smile,—
if I should
buy a shirt
your color and
put on a necktie
sky-blue
where would they carry me?
Found at Poets.org. Poetry Friday is hosted at Stenhouse Blog.
Happy Reading.

A moon with an ironical smile! I love that!
Lovely! Hadn’t seen this one before.
Great poem. Williams is in my top five favorite poets of all time. Maybe top three. Thanks for sharing. I start school in a couple weeks, so I think I’ll be needing a Poetry Mix Tape of summer poems!
