Lazy Days of Summer

"Lazy Days of Summer" is my featured art of the week. I just added the print to jiinkinkids today! The images on blogger aren't so great. If you want to see quality images, head on over to jiinkinkids! :)












































Indian Summer by Emily Dickinson
These are the days when birds come back,
A very few, a bird or two,
To take a backward look.

These are the days when skies put on
The old, old sophistries of June, -
A blue and gold mistake.

Oh, fraud that cannot cheat the bee,
Almost thy plausibility
Induces my belief,

Till ranks of seeds their witness bear,
And softly through the altered air
Hurries a timid leaf!

Oh, sacrament of summer days,
Oh, last communion in the haze,
Permit a child to join,

Thy sacred emblems to partake,
Thy consecrated bread to break,
Taste thine immortal wine!
