Grandparents' meadow:
crickets still chirp---despite chills
as summer ends. My
joys, there, remain---despite school,
with bullies there, tomorrow.
Author's Notes/Comments:
Despite my fears of bullying, at school---from Monday morning through Friday afternoon, each and every week through the school year---I always felt joy, and a safe security, at my grandparents home, and in their wildflower meadow, which always seemed to last in summer profusion until mid-Autumn.
