Jo's Collection of Poems

Summer Sunsets

I use to remember those childhood summers
Alone, I'll linger watching the sky
Making sense of shape of clouds above
And gazing At the birds that are passing by

Until the warm of the sun touches me
As if to show, a kiss goodbye
While a reddish blanket descents over
As she ready herself to close her eyes

A moment of beauty and a moment of awe
For a simple child like me, to see
As the process of setting, warms my heart
And fills my soul with ginormous glee

Then the shadows fall upon the trees
Forming misshapen and unknowing beasts
And imagination took the helm from me
To slay these beasts; Oh! What a tease?

The reddish sky now fades to black
The breeze that's warm now whisper cold
Like time itself in hateful form
Sway us away now that we're old
