Well, to get a start, here's my first poem in a week or two. It'll also be my last for a long while since I'm gonna be gone for most of the next six weeks. But I'd better not come back to find all you old people have taken over my forum, or else I'll have to use my Enforcer. *grins*

The Last Nights of Summer

The whirling neon-pink disc
flits in and out of the shadows
of another suburbian twilight
while far below
the rows of fickle streetlamps
illuminate our return to childhood.
With a sweeping insanity,
the game is played under
care-free skies filled with
the infinite possibilities of more
until we become lost within
the waves of a two-gallon jug of life.
And there we remain afloat,
dancing away our nights
beneath summer's full moons
and tempting the fates of tomorrow
from the sugary straits of tonight
until the nearing dawn arrives
and sends us scurrying
down our separate trails.

Acies

Im glad I've decided to go back to the start of this forum. I see names now that I havent seen before. I see a lot of 0 replies too. What a shame. This poem specially. This is poem is beautiful, and a lot of poets missed something sepcial when they didnt read this.

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this give life to thee." W.S.
