I Miss You

Oh this winter;
Begone
The cold made bitter with a relentless wind;
Begone

Please, Spring, push
it back
Lean, shove, melt
it back

Summer warmth
I miss you
Severe clear days
I miss you

Horses hot breath,
Smell of rain,
I miss you.

Lazy river,
lulling heart beats
into a molasses dream.
A stick with a leaf sail
steers through diamonds
as the sun-sparkles reflect
off the idle meandering purposeless river.

I miss you.

Always thought this poem was a little thin. So, the last verse made it come together some better. I too, like the last 'group.' With a little work, it would make two nice Haiku. ~J~

Sorry I missed this when you wrote it. Would love to be at this river right now instead of the wind and bitter cold outside today. Thank you James. ~J~

The seasons of a love shared perhaps? This is very sweetly written with all the sadness splashed in there too.

This is truly beautiful, and somehow I get the feeling you miss more than the upcoming season. Love that amazing last verse. Noticing Trudy's comment, hope you are well Judith. So great to read you. Love, Shar
