Three Summers

Neville

Three Summers

 

It was never meant

to be like this ..

It was meant to be

perfect forever ..

And indeed it was,

for three

whole summers ..

Then out of the blue,

she went and she broke it ..

            You had the three summers all in one day?!

          • orchidee

            Do two swallows (a variation on 'one swallow', I discovered) make a Summer?
            If not, how many swallows do we need to see?! Or how many guinea pigs?! lol.

              You kinda lost me twice ..

              • orchidee

                Your title is Three Summers, so that made me think of 'How many swallows make a Summer? Or in my version 'How many guinea pigs make a Summer? lol.

                I am reminded of that old saying Neville, it’s better to have loved and lost than never loved at all. Three whole summers would have covered a lot of blue sky loving. A poignant poem of loss here. Sudden surprise endings are like a thunderbolt. They are the most painful sadly. Happy Saturday my friend.

                      Maybe the next summer is already upon us, (hopefully).

                      • Neville

                        Now wouldn’t that be a fine thing .. thankyou so much for coming on board ..

                        One is afraid that after three summers , they might fall. Love the title and the heat the poem gives off, poetic friend.

                        • Neville



                          Many thankyou's my friend ... Neville
