8/14/2024 for Deciduous Poetry Contest sponsored by Craig Cornish
I'm raised in SoCal, calm weather agrees, and you, from Boston, know weather, severe. Our states of mind match these climates I fear. Like Winter sadness, leaves fall from your trees, and then I'm missing those green absentees. Like Summer, a hot flare up may appear. The reasons are celestially unclear. Oh, how will I deal with moods such as these? Deciduous trees, specialists in change - variety and beauty they will bring. These shifts do add the color to my life, as days with you I would never exchange. In Winter, I am sure there will be Spring, and I'm happy that I made you my wife.
