Autumn brings colors to uplift "summer's soul" "washing withered" greens with bright patina; the eyesight delight which brightens and abets, with "fiery fusion," new scenes old summer will accept- highlights, imparted justly, as her season's last hurrah while she leaves, bereaves her lost Xanadu, in the brilliance of red/golds swirled with orange/amber, crowning trees and carpeting sprawled bald lawns with cheer- to "soften...

The Last Hurrah of An Idiot Box
Call it a requiem, dirge or elegy, Lament, funeral song of eulogy, On failing, dying light and last hurrah, Maybe the last polite vah vah! Once, a focal point of a family, A device that brought it close together, That not ere long a radio used to be, Family fulcrum, pivot or tether! Ere, youngsters were hooked to open-air games, Later on replaced...

A SOLDIER’S LAST HURRAH By Robert E. Welch, Sr. November 7, 2020 He was sitting at the table, His coffee in his hand. Not caring where he was, This sad and lonely man. The years that he had lived Totaled ninety-nine and one His memory was going Of days when he begun. He fought the war in Germany With medals on his chest. Then came home to family Who said...

Last Hurrah
Like Ken, ever on his last sail - a soul slipper asway on gales … Some loves shall lead these ending days Tapering the winding display ~ High mountain air before lungs crush Umpteen stars to drink ‘fore eyes hush Rivers cold to shiver the numb Rivers bold will quiver to dumb Away, away, this last hurray Hie now to float the scented way...

Premium Member July the Last Hurrah
Summer is ending; we can feel it But we pretend we cannot Slater our corn-on-the-cob with butter Cutting generous slabs of watermelon Ignoring the Back-to-School sales flyers stacking up in our box July is the last hurrah. The month we celebrate as wildly as we can Knowing reality will soon set in And school will begin Because August is peeking her...

The Last Hurrah
A worthy cause ‘gainst daunting odds A chance to set the world aright Truths to be told With hero bold To champion a noble fight ‘tis all I ask A final task And while I still have beating heart For win or lose To fight I choose For then I’ll know … I did my part...

Premium Member The Last Hurrah
Cars line the curb - last hurrahs, the last of pseudo praises, or as Mom would say in the midst of a eulogy "Do I know this person"? Praises never thought of while life strode so proudly blind. As the bumble bounces on the hydrangea, sadly, other blossoms are forgotten while the most proud was overappreciated. How many days/years until my blossom is...

Last Hurrah
Lots of little moths are flitting Near the bushes and the trees, Such a frenzied sort of flutter, They might stir a little breeze. Some are solo, but more likely, Most are traveling in groups, Do-si-do-ing through the flora, Doing crazy loop-di-loops. In some spots, they’re like confetti Which the wind has set a’whirl. Guess their instincts have informed them They’ve just time for one...

Last Hurrah of the Melting Snowheaps
LAST HURRAH OF THE MELTING SNOWHEAPS Glisten you snow heaps. Coruscate your last In this sun. For listen - you show Signs of fading fast. The sun which now magnifies your import Will tomorrow bleed you to nothing: And you will be an ill-recalled memory In the far off sunny days of spring ……………………………………………………………………………… NOTE Ever watched a melting snow heap draining...
