ME LYDIA

Posted on 20/03/2021 by Nightpoet

Today being the first day of Spring,

it would seem appropriate to reflect back

upon the springtime of my youthful days,

when I was seemingly a daft and foolish buffoon,

who’d stumble into the pit, who’d stand out in the rain,

who’d howl loudly at the moon.

Hmm…when I think about it, not all that much has changed…
