For another Seuss, from Poem-A-Day yesterday, The Academy of American Poets. Good to have Plath visit via her magical braid.
from Self-Portrait with Sylvia Plath’s Braid / by Diane Seuss
Some women make a pilgrimage to visit it
in the Indiana library charged to keep it safe.
And, another poem in lieu of a rain dance. Like rain, miss you, Jane Kenyon. The rest of the poem, here:

from Heavy Summer Rain / by Jane Kenyon (1947 – 1995)
Everything blooming bows down in the rain:
white irises, red peonies; and the poppies
More gardening. And, more here:

from A Garden of Bees / by Matthew Rohrer b. 1970
I buy the poem from the garden
of bees for one euro.
And, another American poet, a woman, and a woman writing in the 1980’s. Harvard, Cambridge, The Norton Anthology of Poetry, Atlantic Monthly, New Republic, Japan and a smile as enigmatic as Ms. Sarandon’s. As well, this one’s thematically linked to the previous one.
