Hydrangeas

This is the archive for Jewelry Poetry on the Beadshaper web site. The Poetry Piece for the month of September is a white pendant bead accented with green vines and blue flowers named for Carl Sandburg's poem, Hydrangeas. This continues the Carl Sandburg series in honor of the opening of the Beadshaper's booth in the Andersonville Galleria at 5247 North Clark Street in Chicago this October. Carl Sandburg (1878-1967) was born in Illinois and wrote much of his poetry when he lived in the Chicago area. This necklace will be available at the Beadshaper's new booth in the Andersonville Galleria at 5247 North Clark Street in Chicago starting in the Spring of 2009. Please visit if you live in the Chicago area or plan to travel there.

DRAGOONS, I tell you the white hydrangeas
turn rust and go soon.
Already mid September a line of brown runs
over them.
One sunset after another tracks the faces, the
petals.
Waiting, they look over the fence for what
way they go.
