Gregory Richard Barden Poet Diminished Hexaverse

Notes About The Poem

Cool Fever

On the beach one night
Neath a late-May moon
My love bathed its light
Lunar beams to swoon
(Kindled hearts, attune)

Just two young fools
In cool spring flames
Held close the dunes
Glib passion's games

Fire and ice
Even's arc
Did entice

Cool spark
Bare thaw ...

Awe.
