Season’s Lament
I laughing, sat with long lost friends
and sadly cursed the summers end.
The days have flown
and had I known
I would not see their likes again,
I may have done it differently.
Had to rewrite this from memory as it was one of my lost entries.
Sigh… I remember reading it too.

You are quite talented, IK. This smacks a bit of Robert Frost. 🙂

Very nice.

I remember this from a while ago. I like it. it reminds me slightly of a Dylan song, … if I could sit in that room again… ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat… I’d give it all gladly if our lives could be like that… or something like that.

I remember this from before-certainly fits the mood of today. xoxo

It seems you improved it by saying “may” rather than “would”. Ciao,

Yes, I thought of Robert Frost too. He is one of my favorites and so are you. Autumn has its wonderful compensations.

Hmmm, that ribald limiricist seems to have taken flight with the summer days!

RYN: I should do that. We’ll see how/if the situation gets resolved. You deleted your most recent entries again, you bum. Planning on another hiatus? I miss reading you. I also miss the home improvement projects and progress reports.

Where’s the rest of your diary – dropping by to wish you a Happy and prosperous 2009. I was looking up an old entry of mine to find a recipe and getting very nostalgic seeing the notes – i’ve been on OD now, sometimes pretty scarcely, but never completely gone since August 2001. This being my 9th I’m thinking of friends like you who’ve been a part of my online journalling.I hope you’re still around and you and your family are doing well, even though your diary looks greatly reduced.

Haven’t left a note on anyone’s diary in a very long time, but today I was feeling kind of nostalgic and began looking around for old friends. Face Book has taken over so many lives, moving us at a faster pace, but I miss the writings and visits of my favorites on Openn Diary. I hope you are well, and that your family is too. I expect those boys are getting pretty big by now!

My god, you are 57. Yikes. They did it tonight. I thought of you. I hope you are smiling.

Thinking of you old friend as the ship slowly sinks. The end of our beloved Open Diary is near. I hope you’re OK. ((HUGS)) Love Sandra aka minnie58
