It was a dalliance this bucolic lost town, just ephemeral my visit, petrichor scents of fresh rain, just fallen, birds songs a harbinger of me, oh serendipity, efflorescence caress. I feel the erstwhile past in the vacant buildings, the sadness an epiphany, beyond nature calls my propinquity but I stay and stroll empty streets, redolent with flowers, this demesne lost in time. ____________________________ March 18, 2016 Poetry/Rictameter/Ghost Town Copyright Protected ID, 03-769-605-18 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France For the Standard contest, A Day In A Town, sponsor, Nayda Evette Negron, Judged 03/2016 First Place Submitted into the Standard contest, Give me a Ricktameter! sponsor, M.L.
