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….

A superb piece - your work just gets better and better.
You really are most kind Michael & always much appreciated... Neville
An emotive plea for summer's smile and scribed with a notion of time passing - sad yet so moving my friend.
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.
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
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.
I am well and truly gobsmacked my friend.. thank you so much for an overwhelmingly generous comment & contribution to this page..... Neville
I love this piece, N!!! did get the ending and it was superb. (Yet those springs yearn to be relived).....Great one!
many thanks indeed Christina.. much appreciated...
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 🧡🧡🧡🧡
