dVerse Quadrille #132

Roll On

After the icicles thawed,
and damp left the basement
through open windows,
I remember wondering

what happened to winter,
I’ve no clear memories of it.

Sometimes I’m like a stream,
not knowing where I’ve come from
or where I’m going. I just
roll on.

Quadrille for dVerse Poets, including the word ‘stream‘. Photo by Fabrice Villard on Unsplash . Shared with #APoemADay on Twitter   ©Misky 2021 (note: This is true, unlike most of what I write, which is pure fiction or embellished fact. I think it’s because #1. during 18-months of lockdown, every day’s been the same, nothing to distinguish one from the other, and #2. possibly age.)

  7. It doesn’t take much to remind me of winter, but the other way, rolling into winter, it’s easy to forget what summer was like. It just rolls away.

  8. Speaking as someone with a relatively poor memory, Misky, I can relate to this!
    This was such a great piece of yours!

    I guess we’re all like the stream … encountering rocks, falling breathlessly, idling serenely, tumbling riotously ….. that’s life! Great comparison!

  10. I feel this deeply, Misky. The days roll on, one by one, into each other in a big heap. It’s a little disconcerting. Add to that the fact that both of my kids have graduated from HS these past two Mays, and it’s just a weird phase of life.

  14. More and more it all runs together. Age? the times? maybe both. (K)

  15. Misky, it’s like having a baby, I think. Some part of the self makes it fuzzy in order to prepare for facing its harshness again. Such a nice flow your poem has.
