It's Too Early To Write Poetry

A summer evening rarefied An elder spirit clarified, Made spare and true, the ingenue Long bid adieu returned anew To walk with me and disagree On wrong and right then reunite In love's accord our faith restored; Late magic hour to endow her, Naught overcomes such sweet power, Wise crone to some, yet my flower.

Hi Anil. I wonder when one truly becomes an "elder."

I have to admit I thought I was going to read something else according to the title. I love the last two lines that say everything. This entry is poetic throughout. Well done

Doug: You real poets are over my head. I'm more of a "less than" Mark Twain of rhymes. :o) Keep up the good work, it has been well received by others. :o) Thanks for sharing with all of us on the soup. oldbuck

Hey Old Buck. I'm definitely guilty of trying too hard, fairly often. Y'all keep 'em straight there in Middle America. : )
