The Pageant Poem by Barry Middleton
The Pageant
the pageant of the season turns
and hope may come and go
the bloom of spring is insincere
a brief pretense and show
the promises of youth are guile
then bitter age is due
a lover's smile forswears deceit
yet proves to be untrue
at last our very breath defrauds
the pageant put to rest
as kindly words attend the grave
to dignify the quest

I wouldn't have liked this once but from the standpoint of my 78 years it has a verity about it that might be uncomfortable but is still a verity.
