Summer's death
A Chapter by
Lyn Anderson
No, this is not about fall.
Summer's sweet breath used to comfort me, kept me warm and safe from harm; It still fools me, when it enters, and offers up the sun -- Somehow, I know something bad is yet to come. So many losses, so many loves -- lost memories stranded on highways, under tracks; tangled in the roots of trees -- I am swallowed by Summer's death.

Author's Note
Summer is a mixed blessing for me. Too many anniversaries of too many deaths.
The pop song sounds happy, but it's not.

I can understand this. For some summer isn't as happy as it should be. I wish it was for you.

Thanks so much. I know I am not the only one. It is the season of accident and tragedy.

Beautiful imagery. I really like this poem and it flows so well. It is very sad but it is not just sad it so honest that there is almost something nostalgic about...like I have felt this, lived it. It i very relate able. Great write.

Thanks so much for your kind words.
This 'M' has a taste of darkness and regret in its melancholly voice. A gulf away from your usual offerings! But it is tight and crisp and flows well to paint that picture.

F**k aniversaries I say! Banish them to the basement of hell and take back the summer!
