Letters & Changing

Letters & Changing

A Poem by Ken Simm.

 

Letters and changing,

Drinks and music,

Clouds and sunshine snow landscapes.

Bottles of wine, the smell of coffee, blue woodsmoke.

Wet and I am laughing.

Small rooms and fantastic shadows.


 


 


 

Letters and changing, drinks and music

Clouds and speckled sunlight

Snow landscapes

Bottles of wine, the smell of leather

Blue woodsmoke

Wet and I am laughing

Within darkness, books, to small rooms and fantastic shadows.

Ah, how to remember back to those magical, mystical times of yore. They say youth is wasted on the young, and there is a certain truth to that. But memories are precious, locked in sepia, branded to our souls, such things become to the alchemist in us all -- pure gold. When I think back at all the utter foolishness, I no longer frown and shake my head, but smile and laugh at the hubris. Loved it, Ken. Cheers! Rob

I'm so glad you like this old one of mine.
Words that so starkly bring-to-life your memories, they practically become those of the reader.
A lively, lovely and lingering list, Ken.

Lovely! This reminds me of Rupert Brooks maybe because it's a list poem.

...Wet roofs, beneath the lamp-light; the strong crust
Of friendly bread; and many-tasting food;
Rainbows; and the blue bitter smoke of wood...

The comfortable smell of friendly fingers,
Hair's fragrance, and the musty reek that lingers
About dead leaves and last year's ferns....

But the best I've known,
Stays here, and changes, breaks, grows old, is blown
About the winds of the world,
