A year's worth of poems, every week for 52 weeks, spanning 2023 and 2024, plus the year following, from August 2024 to August 2025.(provided I live that long, of course).
Thank you, Allan Charles. I've contested the Charlie Chaplin thing a couple of times, won once, if I remember correctly. But it's the kind of thing I try when bored and have nothing better to do - just doesn't seem to have happened lately.
I am reminded of those late nights
when you snuggle close and ask
“Are you awake? Tell me a story.”
And I search my empty brain
and speak of memories of youth
running free in a dry and desert land
and how loneliness struck me
in my damp and misty homeland
of friends that came and went
and yes I’ve been alone at times.
And you recall those times alike
though now that we’re just you and me
and how strange it is that it’s enough
and all our gratitude’s for now
and not the past.
