[hometext] => This poem is a re-visioning of one I wrote in High School (no longer extant). t was written on the 20 year anniversary. It is a bit bleaker than necessary -- perhaps.
[bodytext] => SEASONS
(LSHS Class of ‘66) Some have gone beyond the turn Of the several seasons' malice. Others have forgotten, in the Whirling wastes of the world's Affairs, the season's turning. Ah classmates, friends, strangers: What splendid cities we saw! What hopes we held like giant eggs, Until the world smashed them, Or, we, careless, let them fall. The seasons mesh now merge now: Winter's winds carry summer's thunder; Springs fair and frail flowers Die in Autumn's bitter frost. We dry, we rot, Scattered, lost, Like autumn leaves after the Season's turn.
