A Gift of Seasons

Neville

A Gift of Seasons

 

Although  

I have so many

Autumns now

Beneath my belt

 

It was

The winters

Stole

My youth

 

Tho spring it would

Distract me so and

Took

My innocence

 

Twas summer  

Always smiled

On me and pointed

T’ward the truth

 

Then would you have it

Any other way my friend

No, but gift me

One last summer….

    • Fay Slimm.

      An emotive plea for summer's smile and scribed with a notion of time passing - sad yet so moving my friend.

      • Neville

        Thank you so much Fay.. your opinion does mean an awful lot to me... Neville

        A poetic piece N.
        This is not original from me, but - 'With my singing, it's always Winter'. I mean the days it's cold, dark, gloomy. Yep, me singing will depress ya! What you folk doing being happy and Summery? Just listen to me singing. You'll be gloomy in no time. lol.

        • Neville

          I am seldom gloomy my friend.. I tend to sail along calmly and then kaboom some one presses the wrong button and then tis Armageddon................. cheers

          • orchidee

            Ooh like me maybe - jumps from passive to aggressive, when assertive would be better? And gets angry, ooh, about once every 5 years?! Just don't buy my LP's. I got no CD's as I'm very old! heehee.

            Beyond my words to tell you how good this piece is Neville.
            For mature readers there is so much in there yet it is so beautifully compact.
            Sincerely, may there be many more summers for you and we your readers to enjoy your works to come.
            A must for favourites.

              • ANGELA & BRIAN

                HI NEVILLE - Angela here ! Brian and I love every season and the many Poems that they spawn ~ love yours ! I have been in NEW ZEALAND for over 12 months and (as you know) in the S Hemisphere all the Seasons are opposite from the UK & USA ! Also we are almost 12 hours ahead of the UK ! (right now its 9:15am Saturday !) Its the middle of Winter but by 12 noon it will be 13C (55F) warm enough to go sailing ! Brian tells me Essex will be 25C (77F) tomorrow but Lerwick (Scotland) will only be 13C (55F) in the middle of Summer ! So NZ Poems about the Seasons dont relatea to the Months ! Here Christmas & New Year is in the Middle of Summer etc. However wherever we happen to be on the Planet we always pray that we will get ONE LAST SUMMER - AMEN !

                Blessings & Peace & Joy
                Yours ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
