PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

offset my expected arrival

there came a note of censure

yet, my correspondents never cared

to inform me of the stir

so I went about my general business of making

myself sweetly known

when all the while my hat into the camp site ring

was never even once attended nor thrown

everyone assumed I came as a councilor

forced to endure abusive children and the humility

of a disenchanted June

when really if the tactful truth had been sought

I came only for the love of the sweet summer moon

before the day was out with its nasty deliverance

of the heat from its mid day noon

I happily left the primitive premises of that most

impossible place and it was for me none too soon......
