I just discovered, upon perusing this thread that I posted my sonnet "On Love" twice. Please excuse this minor, mental aberration. Surprised that no one made me aware.
Here is another sonnet.
On Youth.
I remember well the days of youth,
The halcyon summer days of time gone by,
A time when everything was seen as truth,
And never seen, the need to utter lies.
I was Dan Dare, John Wayne and Jesse James,
Flash Gordon, Charlie Chaplin and Tom Mix,
I rode the fastest horse upon the range,
And sailed the stars in supersonic ships.
Alas these years are far behind me now,
No more am I the hero or the clown,
The freckled skin replaced by wrinkled brow,
The energy of youth now running down.
Are memories enough as life moves on,
Towards that time when life will be long gone.
2003.
In the image of God? You must be joking!
