Remembering You

Hello blog friends!

Today author Colleen Chesebro has a theme-based poetry challenge. She invited Harmony Kent to suggest the topic and it's a provocative one: The Longest Day. Maybe you'll consider joining in the fun?

My syllabic poem follows:

A footnote. . .

If you haven't seen me around this last week, it's because of computer problems. Serious ones. I'm working on my husband's old laptop right now, but I'm hoping for relief this evening. Fingers crossed! I've missed visiting many of your sites.

I hope you've had some relief from the heat. We were surprised by much needed rain last night. What a summer, right!

Sending hellos from the high desert of Arizona....

What a poignant poem, Gwen. I hope you get your computer fixed. It's miserable not being online. The heat seems to be everywhere this year! We've not much rain here in Michigan, either. 💜

Oh my... Hubby had a virus blocked by our protection plan just about an hour ago!! He had gone to a link via a news station - eek.
Good luck with your PC.

Yes, we've had some rain too! But it is still muggy.

Your verse reminds me of all the widows I have known and now also know... A sad state. Some can cope better. Even when expected... loss is not easy, especially at first. A very sensitive piece 💖
