It’s hard to accept as true,
those summer days are numbered and few.
Time lingers - for not a soul.
I still hold on, I won’t let go.
Nice. Did you write that or is it a quote?
The wet flower pictures (#2 & #6) ... they're very compelling although I'm hard-pressed to say why.

@Quillfire
Surely you jest, am I reading this right?
Do you think I would quote
Without saying who wrote it?
Thank you. ;) A little rhyme-y but, hey, doncha know... It was the best I could do, especially on the run.
I'm glad you like the flowers. Haha! You don't have to have a reason to like them. Flowers just make me irrationally happy. Good enough reason for me. :)
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your words! Have a great day!

@dswigle,
Hi Denise.
The reason I asked is because on previous occasions I have exuberantly congratulated people on their fine poetic creations only for them to inform me that it was Wordsworth. I suspected it was yours, though.
The style is familiar, like some famous Victorian poet, but I can't put my finger on exactly who. The Victorian poets were big into writing about Nature.
In any event, I really like it. It flows nicely. "
Nice phrase.
Quill
Aren't you supposed to give a source when you use a quote? I like the Victorian styling myself, it is demure and oh-so-lovely.
I meant to ask you, the link you gave me was to an old post. I didn't forget your thing and please tell me I have until tomorrow to do one. :)
@dswigle,
The Contest's Deadline is August 25, 11:59 UTC. Here's the post link:
https://steemit.com/steembasicincome/@felixgarciap/reminder-of-the-nineteenth-issue-of-lyric-poetry-contest-prompt-flawless
The PHC twist is that you must apply the Contest's "flawless" writing prompt ... to a "Pork Roast."
Good Luck. Take no prisoners. :-)
Quill
Thanks, Quill. @quillfire
You 're awesome. Now I have to enter. LOL
