September now has passed from view
and Autumn in the mists
of dank and often dreary
days of Winter’s cold and
unsympathetic hand.
Suppose we, then, weep not for days in
whose long, languid shadows
we swore at sweat, nor regret
the changing climes
in these fearful times.
Soon the sap will run again like
rushing tides, life’s vein will
pump wildly to keep time
as we sip wine toasts
to new beginnings
and Summer’s play.
I shall give you a bloom for every
moment passed in those hot,
sopping days of free fun
that someone does not,
in foolish jest,
suggest
a frigid day
might count them blessed.

Hop over to Dan’s sofa
and bring along some hot tea. He has been under the weather. We miss you waxing witt-tastically at the bar! Get well soon.

What a wonderful way to handle this challenging prompt – very well done! You have me looking forward to spring days and those hot sopping days (although I hope I’m not working outside in them this year).
Thanks for nudging people over to the bar, I hope they all buy from the top shelf. Have a great week, Cheryl!

I’m still trying to avoid it, but it takes effort. I don’t know why they don’t at least include the same options as before.

You and me both. I am all for effective reduction of useless information; but the new minimalist tendency in the thought process of our youngest adult generation along with their devaluation of the hard work it took to get technology this far before their “brilliant selves” were born leaves me feeling underappreciated and unwanted. In other words, “Hey! Old guys, follow or get out ot the way! We don’t need no stinking leaders. Going around in circles is fun. See?” 😳 Color me jaded….
