Bonfire blaze

Misty Moon

Wilting rose

Pink balloon

Children’s laughter

Parent’s glee

Cold hereafter

“What’s for tea?”

 

I’ve got pizza

And some wine

In the freezer...

Sounds sublime.

Or there’s fish

At suppertime?

So just one wish

Before you climb

 

The wooden hill

To paradise

Where you might fill

Your hearts’ delight

And languish still

In timeless awe

Both day and night.

The night before

 

November’s plot

Seems awfully quiet

And were it not

We’d never try it

Nor disrupt the sky

With storm and fire

To please our eye?

This funeral pyre.
