Seasonal Heart
Old Sol claims the sky
by day, sweetening the fruit
for the harvest moon;
in your eyes I long to see
a desire for my heart,
Leaves begin to turn,
soon the air grows crisp and chill,
the sun grows aloof;
but you gift me with no smile
and hope withers in my breast.
Snow blankets the ground,
breath hangs upon frigid air
and ice rules the day;
like frost you chill my passions.
I no longer seek your charms.
Tender leaves unfurl,
life reaches toward the sky and
timid blossoms bloom;
your interest in me only flares
as my passion for you wanes.

Juliana — well, isn’t the old adage, “write what you know”? Before I met my Amoeba, I didn’t know that love came without bitterness.
One of my favourites.

Bill — “Young Thom” is older than I am, which means he is older than you.
If only … but life must go on. Have had a few of those myself. I actually see this as a hopeful poem because the lover has turned the corner and is almost completely mended. Well done!

Cherie — you are an optimist. I left the ending open so the reader could decide, did the cycle start again? Or was this the end?
This poem must have been written before you moved to Hawaii… it’s just so un-Hawaiian. LOL. Good job.
Alice in BC Canada’s last blog post..*** Three Word Thursday ***
Alice — the poem form calls for the movement through all four seasons. I remember them, even if I am no longer subject to their whims.
Great poem. I enjoyed.

Melli’s last blog post..Neenah – Day One!
Melli — I put a lot of time and effort into this poem. Yes, it is from my archives, and didn’t just glide off the end of my pencil today.
I tried to finish my TWT installment and just couldn’t dredge up the energy. I’ll have to double up or do an intermittent post to catch up.
Nessa’s last blog post..A Poem a Day #23 – Regret
Nessa — or skip it. It isn’t a mandatory activity! I’ll still love you even if you miss a week. Maybe.
Such depth of emotion in this one.
Excellent poem, Quilly!

Thank you, JD!
I had a guy like that in my life once, though we never actually got to dating. We just knew each other in college. I really wanted to date him, but it seemed when he sensed interest, he stayed his distance. When I was seeing someone else, then he seemed interested. Later on when I was dating my husband-to-be, I observed this guy on a date with one girl but away from her talking to other people. Weird! He seems to have settled down — he’s been married for ages and had 8 kids.
Very nice poem! Though I think I have said that about all of them….but I haven;t come across one yet that wasn’t nice!

Barbara, that is sort of what happened with this fella, except every time he’d notice my attention waning, he would do something to give me hope.
