Thanks to the good people at Two Writing Teachers for sponsoring the Slice of Life Story Challenge. Today is Day 17 and I am continuing to challenge myself with poetry. As The Man and I did some backyard clean up last week, I came across this gem and it got me thinking about warm days past...and hopefully yet to come.
Thoughts of Summer...
I found you
after the snow melt
Winter's rapid onset left you
abandoned
at your post
Then Winter's winds tossed you
to the ground
I remember you
Your vibrancy
Your sweet reflection
Your silent call
I remember your visitors
Buzzing
Zipping
Zooming
Silently
of
Sipping Flashes
Emerald
Dipping
