Farewell To Yesterdays

We shared Spring nights, wishing on stars, and Summer walks, hand in hand. Our dreams never reached fruition, for love withered like Autumn leaves. We became fragile flakes of Winter snow, tumbling until we drifted apart. seasons of love farewell to yesterdays memories linger Haibun - pick your theme poetry contest Sponser: Line Gauthier Posted: July 18th, 2020
