Summer's End

SUMMER’S END

one gorgeous red rose
aflame in the morning sun
throbbing all alone
both sentinel reminder
and summer’s glorious end

by the way, you are just two years older than my mom and she is so spry, I tell her she is going to outlive ME.

coming back to this one I just LOVE. And are you serious about your mortgage and when it will finally be paid? Please tell me you are joking.

You've captured so much beauty here, Daver-- I really enjoy how you put grace and beauty to the end of Summer-- thank you for passing by my poem and I do think you are such a kind hearted soul with a soft spot for animals-- I hope all is well with you dear Daver!
