Now it is Day 529 of the daily poems. Yesterday our poet Janice Dempsey recalled the sensuality of a summer courtship. Today our poet Gordon Hoyles gets right to the point with this nonet.
Conception to coffin
At the perfect peak of excitement,
acknowledging the differences
we each join the other one.
Romance developing
starts on the count down
with ups and downs
all along
until
death.
Gordon Hoyles
