    Beg Your Pardon

    If you still bear in mind that
    I once say~
    I had a crush on your rosy tulips,
    I have to beg your pardon!
    It's been a long time
    since I forgot the red roses in spring,
    not to mention the fact that
    another summer's coming to an end.
    Now I fancy waiting in a quiet woods,
    waiting for the leaves on the trees
    to turn yellow again
    so that I may float away with them.

    Dear Angliholic,
    I hope you have made a copy of all your beautiful, delicate poems. Better not to post anything on LitNet until the storm is over.

    Thanks, Danik, for reading and the nice comment, but what's the storm?

    Beautiful poem

    I believe Danik 2016 is referring to the current spam storm; wise council (backup/backup/backup).

    Stay Blessed

    Had it not been for fresh cool mornings,
    butterflies lingering among marigolds,
    and afternoon rain showers,
    I don't know
    how I could've survived the sizzling summer.
    While the trees are turning yellow,
    I choose to be oblivious of the deadly winter's
    just around the corner.
    Instead,
    I'd rather turn my head
    to gaze at their brilliant gold color
    and to appreciate the remaining beauty of life
    if I hope to stay blessed.

    Hi, Angliholic,

    It is a special pleasure to read your poem after the long spamstorm we had the last days.
    A charming sing of recovery from you, probably our oldest poet!

    "I choose to be oblivious of the deadly winter's
    just around the corner.
    Instead,
    I'd rather turn my head
    to gaze at their brilliant gold color
    and to appreciate the remaining beauty of life
    if I hope to stay blessed."

    Wise words!

    You're poetry has always been too Emo for me, Angli, but I understand and concede and everything else that it's not "for me" and doesn't have to be. Your images and especially the sounds that accompany them are--not lushly beautiful but gently beautiful, like wind chimes. If I find the struggle to stay blessed more of a slog, well that's my struggle. Bless you just the same.

    Thanks, Pompey, for dropping in and the wonderful feedback. And sorry for the belated reply because of some unexplainable reasons.

    Fading Morning Glory

    I woke up this morning
    and noticed that
    winter was sneaking up on me.
    Why didn't anyone remind me that
    the season of colorful leaves falling
    had vanished into thin air.
    Now I feel like a fading morning glory~
    too exhausted and reluctant to step outside
    and check out what flowers are in season.
    I think, in the long run,
    I have to face the music~
    Far far away have my daydreaming days gone
    when I could lie willfully
    under an old banyan tree
    watching white clouds floating up in the sky
    or savoring a winding stream nearby
    gurgling.

    Enjoyed very much.

    My favorite lines:
    Far far away have my daydreaming days gone
    when I could lie willfully
    under an old banyan tree
    watching white clouds floating up in the sky
    or savoring a winding stream nearby

    Glad that you are back with your delicate, nostalgic verses:
    "Why didn't anyone remind me that
    the season of colorful leaves falling
    had vanished into thin air."
    It will be back, I trust. And you will be writing about it.
