Suburban Decay

SUBURBAN DECAY.

First glance,
On a Dullton day,
Golden years,
First glance,
eyes meet 
to dance.
Both so old,
Winter's fling
on summer's daze,
Languid heat,
even his dog trod slow,
shops half closed,
wishing weeds a'blow,
Suburban decay,
Going nowhere much today,
Rotted pavement,
Greet and meet, 
Their last romance,
Beyond first glance,
withering blasts 
from adult kin,
deleted to trash,
Golden oldies,
family misfits, 
thought so mouldy,
No trouble today,
Going nowhere much today,
dawdling along, 
in the Slowton,
Suburban decay.

Dear Skat, Greetings from Julie, thank you for kind feedback. I enjoy your poetry as well. This verse is like an ending that is a beginning, in a suburb like a small town. Bit run down. Have a lovely weekend. Regards from Julie.
