Gregory Richard Barden Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

* I apologize for the shortening of an adverb ... poetic license and all! * ;-)

_______________________________________________

Reasoning Seasoning

Sorry, but ...


I just don't understand at all,

               Why people want to rush the fall?


Winter's coming, cold and rough,

               And fall will be here ... soon enough.


The frozen dark is such a bummer,

               Please - no early end to Summer ...


I, too, love Autumn, treat-or-trick,

               But slow it down ... life goes too quick!

Line Gauthier September 28, 2018 at 8:40 PM Lovely, Gregory. Congrats on your gold medal win. Gregory Richard Barden September 28, 2018 at 8:58 PM Thank you very much, Line.

Geoffrey Brewer September 13, 2018 at 11:02 PM Your ‘cool’ contrarian sentiment is refreshingly appealing. The seasons of life move on fast enough without any encouragement. Nice one, Gregory. Gregory Richard Barden September 19, 2018 at 3:41 AM Thanks so much, Geoffrey ... it will ALWAYS come, and soon enough, I think - why rush it? Blessings, my friend! :-)

Michelle Faulkner August 28, 2018 at 9:50 PM Yes, life moves too fast sometimes, this is a sweet read, congratulations! Gregory Richard Barden September 7, 2018 at 9:09 PM Many kind thanks, Michelle, so pleased you liked it, my friend! Blessings! :-) <3

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart August 28, 2018 at 6:41 PM I wholeheartedly agree. Autumn ushers in the SAD. However, relief from this stinking heat at least gives the fall more than just birds and colours to look forward to ;) Good luck dear! A perfect little poem, it ought to do well. xomo <: Gregory Richard Barden September 7, 2018 at 9:08 PM Thank you very much, Mo, I so appreciate it! I love Autumn, but it comes too soon ... one of these days I'm heading south, (South Pacific, I hope) ... permanently! Blessings! :-) <3

Jesse Rowe August 28, 2018 at 2:50 PM Loved this poem. I live in Florida and can't wait for winter and the 70 degree highs again. Summer can go with its 100% humidity at 95 degrees. Gregory Richard Barden September 7, 2018 at 9:07 PM Ha! It's all relative, I guess - I lived in Florida once, (and St. Croix), so I know the hot summers well ... I'm much better with hot and AC than the very long, very cold winters here in Maine. Blessings, my friend! :-), (and

Dean Wood August 28, 2018 at 12:10 PM I am just now getting around to reading this Gregory. I really enjoyed this bit of commentary. It flows wonderfully. As for me, it has been a long hot summer and I don't do hot gracefully. Bring on the fall colors! Gregory Richard Barden September 7, 2018 at 9:04 PM Thank you very much, Dean, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. Blessings, my friend! :-)
