This month’s inspiration: THE TASTE OF SUMMER
What flavors linger long after the moment has passed?
Poetry is here to preserve what memory alone may forget. Write a poem about the taste of summer. Perhaps, begin with something sweet, bright, or unforgettable, like a mango, memory, place, person, or season of your life.
Think: salt air, melting popsicles, sun-warmed skin, backyard hangs, thunderstorms, first loves, or goodbyes.
What ripened, what spoiled, and what can you not let go of? Explore that beauty (or angst).
