Reminiscing

Screened porch, sweet iced tea, summer breeze blowing. Good times. Family laughing at old jokes they loved. The shadows grew long. Light faded. They left, and oh, how I miss them. 5/7/2019 Charlieku New Form Poetry Contest Charles Messina, Sponsor

Nostalgia sweetly penned. Very, very nice... I especially like the (planned?) ambiguity of "They" near the end. Kudos! :) gw
