Halcyon, Heartbroken, House Words Poetry Contest, Sponsor - Constance La France. Date: 10/08/2023

oh, the days! the days I wish I could get back; sandwiched between my book of fond memories. no days like the halcyon days of summer... one blink and they're gone. if only I could go far back in time to the happy tranquility i used to know; outdoors with my Dad as he fed the pigeons... how I miss those times! days are colder; I miss the warmth of the sun. swallows have disappeared like days of my youth. i long to see them fly in the sky again... come back, dear summer.
