Doug Vinson Poet Rhyme

It's Too Early To Write Poetry

A summer evening rarefied
An elder spirit clarified,
Made spare and true, the ingenue
Long bid adieu returned anew
To walk with me and disagree
On wrong and right then reunite
In love's accord our faith restored;
Late magic hour to endow her,
Naught overcomes such sweet power,
Wise crone to some, yet my flower.

Old Buck February 11, 2017 at 9:09 PM Doug: You real poets are over my head.
