Notes About The Poem
Halcyon, Heartbroken, House Words Poetry Contest, Sponsor - Constance La France. Date: 10/08/2023

Halcyon

 oh, the days! the days I wish I could get back;
 sandwiched between my book of fond memories.
        no days like the halcyon days of summer...

                                             one blink and they're gone.

        if only I could go far back in time to 
        the happy tranquility i used to know;
outdoors with my Dad as he fed the pigeons...

                                             how I miss those times!

    days are colder; I miss the warmth of the sun.
swallows have disappeared like days of my youth.
           i long to see them fly in the sky again... 

                                             come back, dear summer.
