MY POEM IN MEMORY OF A GREAT AMERICAN NOVELIST...

                                                                           


Summer is leaving:

Not much we can do

(To quell the

 Expected egress).

 

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Lamented its end;

(Perhaps it convened

   Great distress) ...

 


He wished to subdue it,

To push it far back;

(Much like the waves

 Parting shore)...


I share in his feeling,

As warm nights bring healing,

And summer's a treat

 I  a-d-o-r-e !


Jay Gatsby:

"Summer's almost over. It's sad, isn't it?  

Makes you want to - I don't know - reach out and hold it back".


Nick Carraway:   "There'll be other summers".
