Summer Doldrums....

It's here––summer freedom, but then

come the long days of heat, boredom.

What to do now or later or never?

Freedom from some responsibilities,

but not other daily routines that demand

time, diligence and produce monotony.

Oh, if it was only fall, then....I could

be free of these long hot days trapped

with my air conditioner inside the house.

What can I do now or later or never?

Take the gift of time, explore possibilities

develop talents buried by responsibilities.

Open eyes of deadness to see life's

opportunities, realize abilities basking

in boredom––wanting some attention.

Write a poem to release feelings then

realize the value of each season of life

What will I do now or later or never?
