Days of Sunny Glad Me Up

by Corinne   May 15, 2009


Days of sunny glad me up
before I fall in gloomy cups
of blackish brew

instead my eyes drink the light
nectar
elixir

beverage balm
for weary now
for glassy sight

days of sunny had no sting
of gone by youth
a parting thing

days of sunny bade me sing

* my first attempt to write like ee cummings

    I'm not overly familiar with cummings but I enjoyed this on it's own merits. The wonderful opening line draws you in and what follows makes you think. Truly well done.
