June Bug, do you remember me? Understand, I'm older now, you see. No longer do I visit Grandpa with my brothers. Every fourth of July, you too, came with many others. Both of us came to play - beneath the fireworks display. United again, I recall you never flew so well. Give us another fourth, and we will give 'em hell.

Yup, I just right what pops into my head, and I find the same themes keep repeating, and that seems to be one of them. I might not really be aware of those things, but when you write a poem, it kind of brings it to your attention.

This is touching. You did sweet for this write, too, plus some melancholy, oh golly, melancholy and me. Then swerved from melancholy and served up mature wit. You had me running all over the court. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

Thanks, CayCay. I'm glad you liked this one, and what you said, because I like kind of like it myself - more than I usually do. :-)
