The last quarter.
As the season wears
I find myself
Falling deeper in despair.
Far away my mind
And spirit drifts
Sucked in by
Solitude and emptiness.
No noise, no response
Just barrenness.
I should have opted
To have children
Who would have
Laughed at my side.
They could have caused
Me pain yet they could
Have brought me smiles.
But most importantly
They would had carried love
In their lunch pails.

a real should've could've would've second stanza kitty. The last quarter makes me think the writer is over 75. Is this your intended meaning?

Thank you for the read and comment Delta. No the writer is not over 75, she is just lonely. This time of year brings much emptiness to those without family and it just reflects how I feel.

That makes sense too. In oz the last quarter is April to June so that's why the penny didn't drop.

I loved your poem, kittypaws, especially the last two lines which I think are brilliant. Yes, there is something about this season that can leave one feeling a bit stranded. You are always welcome at my house, kitty.
