Nothing Lasts Forever

 

NOTHING LASTS FOREVER*

butterfly kisses
raindrops on lashes
oreos and milk

kite-flying in meadows
evenings by the fire and
nighttime cuddles

hand-in-hand walks
embrace of a loved one and
a kiss beneath the shade tree

rainbows on stormy days
the feeling of love, and
sheets all in a tangle

…nothing lasts forever…

(*the title is taken from the closing line of an untitled poem by Jackson)

Inspired by Poetic Bloomings Prompt #64: “Hey…That’s My Line, Two!” (to use a line from another poem/poet at Poetic Bloomings as the title of a new poem of my own); the Three Word Wednesday Prompt (7/18):  feel, shade, tangle; and Margo Roby’s Tuesday Tryouts, to write an acrostic poem. Also posted as day 15 at 100 Days of Summer.
