Richard H. Dunsany Poet Couplet

Rich: Part 1 - Us

Us so happened to pass me by,
Down the street a youngster's cry.

I chuckled at how they were Us and not,
There the past created a smile I sought.

Remember when we were just like that?
A skip, the ball, our sandals flat?

Summer gifting winter, all endless adventure,
I'd always thought that we'd be together.

Though The Ages pass, I always ask why--
For I was not there to say goodbye.

Doug Vinson December 19, 2016 at 9:00 PM Excellent, Richard. Surely, there must always be a part of the universe sighing about this. Richard H. Dunsany January 19, 2017 at 6:54 PM Heya Doug, thank you, and definitely. Glad that I was able to deliver this poem well. I find that I'm drawn a lot, in the thematic sense, to expressing sorts of absence, and poetry's been a powerful ally in that endeavor thus far.
