Morning

Resonates beautifully, sadly, as the passing of summer and all time leaves a bittersweet taste on the tongue
*

Melancholy of the cusp of the season. Lovely. Peace...

Nice sound to the phrasings here, Lou:
"A chipmunk scampers under
a parked truck while once again
the young man does his morning run,
turning around one block down."

Good piece. Enjoyed.

Lou, most modern poetry I don't understand, that is sense. Not so with "Morning." At my age, I truly understand "summer ended years ago," "a slide stuck in a projector," and "a field gone to seed." Melancholy and comforting at the same time. Odd feeling, but nice. Thank you. It's a fav.

Lou, this is quite well done. Beautiful and sad, as Susan suggests.

Gorgeous. "like a slide stuck in a project, the one for the day he dies..." Yes, indeed.

Elegant simplicity is not as easy as it looks. If it was, more people would write like this.

Beautiful, but the kind of beauty that stirs regret and channels the spirits in everyday things.

Thank you, everyone. And Martin, I'll take melancholy and comforting anytime.

"summer ended years ago"
A very moving line.

Editing suggestions:
Take out "this' (line 2), "once again" (line 6) and "Just as yesterday" (line 9) and see how it reads to you.

..summer ended years ago..great stuff going on here in a neat economical package. Cool!

very much like this, Lou. lovely work.

Wonderful use of language, Lou. Maybe add background music by Satie?

Timeless

Thank you for the suggestions, Bill and I will take a look/listen. And thank you all for reading and commenting, I truly appreciate it.

exquisite Lou!

"Just as yesterday, dressed
dapper, the old man passes-
like a slide stuck in a projector,
the one for the day he dies,"

Lovely, Lou. Very fine. *

"....leaving a house empty,
a field gone to seed..." is a great line.

Thank you Michael, Kim, and Matthew. Your comments are much appreciated.

Lots of great lines here, Lou. nice images.

Thank you, Randal. I appreciate you taking the time to read and comment.
