Nette Onclaud Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

 

Many, Many Long Years Ago

Yellow asters  along the fence
Gone their lush  perfume… once intense
Tousled  after a last  hello 
Many, many long years ago

Naïve boy-girl  flames of sundown
Each quiver reflecting nights’ crown
Cheek-kiss…pink  bliss through seasons---Oh
Many, many  long years ago!

Not even frost harmed wake of blade
As if thrill ‘s claim sprung…unafraid
When time was young, a world aglow
Many, many long years ago.

Precious and rare, a moment kept
An infatuation quite swept
By fancy. I adored him so—
Many, many long years ago!
