Days of Sunny Glad Me Up

days of sunny glad me up
before I  fall in gloomy cups
of blackish brew

instead my eyes 
drink the light
nectar
elixir
beverage balm
for weary now 
for glassy sight

days of sunny had no sting
of gone by youth
a parting thing

days of sunny bade me sing



* For Michele Nold-Godleske's e.e. cummings contest

Super Cummings entry, though I have never read Cummings...if I have it was 30 years ago. This coffee fix fits my life style precisely...by the way what is D? I hope it means good and not sucks. BIG LOVE, daver

nice work! I love how the sights and smells of sunny days remind me of highschool days, everything exciting and new... Re: my poem, it's so ironic! our small town suffered 2 large tornadoes this week! My home was between their paths and was unscathed!
