The last of it; the end of it.
Sunrays splashed on flowerbeds,
Spiraling with fresh mowed grass
Into the vortex of another year.
I saw the faucet trickle out
A few fake spiders and a
Lit-up pumpkin.
The cycle
Had begun again.
I thought of this poem whilst pouring some long flat, unfinished beer down the drain. It was Summer Ale from Sam Adams and likely the last I will have of it until next year, seeing as how it's seasonal. So, I got the idea of actually pouring summer down the drain from that. As you can read, I'm not very good at these poetry explanation things, but I thought I'd give it a try.

Excellence!
ReplyDeleteThe idea of pouring summer down the drain is...excellent.
Yes, I can't wait for it to "trickle" back down :)
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job, Ben. It's an awesome poem. Summer's been so smokin' hot here, I think it would melt the pipes if I poured it down my drain. Here's to AUTUMN and a new brand of beer. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYes, just got some Oktoberfest today :D Is Autumn any cooler there?
ReplyDeleteah silly me - I'm still holding on to this
ReplyDeletesummer of storms and rains and white butterfly
days...
That's a pretty sweet poem in itself :)
ReplyDeleteWow, great minds really do think alike, Ben. I am working on some summer's end poetry now. As in...I had a slight writer's block in the middle of one and went to check your blog.
ReplyDeleteI like that you don't explain, although I think it's a nice touch that you were pouring summer ale (great choice, btw) down the drain. I love the poem, though it kinda makes me sad.
I was feeling pretty down about it too. That's why I added the bit about spiders and pumpkins to make me think of Halloween. Because as much as I miss summer, I love Halloween :)
