P.S. Awtry Poet Verse

Reminiscing

Screened porch,
sweet iced tea,
summer
breeze blowing.
Good times.

Family
laughing
at old jokes
they loved.

The shadows
grew long.
Light faded.

They left,
and oh, how

I miss them.

Gershon Wolf May 7, 2019 at 10:10 PM Nostalgia sweetly penned. Very, very nice... I especially like the (planned?) ambiguity of "They" near the end. Kudos! :) gw P.S. Awtry May 7, 2019 at 10:53 PM Thank you Gershon! I always appreciate your comments :)
