Carrie Richards Poet Rhyme

A Summer Remembered --- Trois Par Huit

.
                                           one summer
    
                                    as the ocean shimmered

                              sweet regrets, after a tattered day...

                       earth wept tears, as the sun shriveled into the bay..

                        and the receding tides washed our footprints away 

                               erased in time....lost in a glimmer...

                                   teenage love, remembered...

                                               one summer...

When someone writes the way you do with your mastery of English, it is no problem that you do not punctuate, my dear! And I know that sometimes you do, right? Luv,Andrea
