Yonder Poem by jerry hughes

Yonder



When I was a youth
you were not born.
When I was a man
you were a child.

Yet our seasons
mine of autumn brown,
yours of summer gold.
blend perfectly
beneath a midnight sun.

That you can say so much with so few words is the perfection of your poetry.

Jerry, I really like the simple, concentrated power of this, and want to add that I've been enjoying, and appreciating all of the recent important work you've been posting in the forum. You have a feel for the things that matter in this life - especially on the big canvas - but also for what counts at home, as this one shows. Regards, jim.

A slice of life brings to the reader's mind very efficiently. It's not a surprise from a matured great poet's hand.
