Poetry of Robert E. Kogan — Poems of Life, Love & Social Commentary

Midsummer Rhyme

What words can I write?

I need you tonight!

I turn out the light –

        come quickly sleep.

 

My thoughts now reveal

a desperate desire!

Time to retire –

        The lonely weep.

 

What life shall I live?

To feel and to care!

What hats shall I wear –

        Some future time?

 

What choice to I have?

Live by the rule!

Suffer you fool –

        Midsummer rhyme.
