Summertime

An ill wind blew December in

Allowing pause for meditation

And memories of less torrid times

In sweeter and much warmer climes

Than our more recent past had known 

But which I had been shown 

when once upon a time I’d loved you.

No, 

So many times I’d loved you 

Had been in love with you
 
And stopped

And then 

Had loved you yet again

But now it seems the time has come 

For me to face the truth you knew

That you

And I 

Don’t blend.

And so have stuttered to our end.

Thanks, Suz. Been busy with study - it gets no easier with age - but all done now. Only shortage of ideas and inspiration to deal with. Might try responding to some of those contests you guys sponsor.
