Farewell Dear Love - An Erasure Poem

 






Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st.

So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from " Winter Love" by Linda Gregg/

decorate plain ring long silence glass little tea house chimes heat warmth

 

 

 

 

twas warm in the little heated tea house

glass wind chimes ringing in the breeze outside

breaking the silence 

it had been a long time since he last visited

bit on the plain side

in need of a decorate and paint job

Carpe Diem - # 1577 Snowflake

snowflakes on roses
the shushing of a ski turn
sound of winter

Carpe Diem - # 1576 Dawn

at dawn
fresh white blanket
ah! that silence

curled up in bed
under cosy fur rugs
she hugs her pillows
pretending it's the week end
one eye on the clock tick tock

deep snow ache
Imaginary Gardens with Real Toads





triggered by a song
deep sadness like soft falling snow
rekindles the ache

memories
primary school assemblies
in another era
when a manger scene at christmas
was accepted as traditional
and the G word
did not incite a barrage of objections
from militant atheists
