We spoke of flowers and sunsets [We spoke of] sunrises and cucumbers in the summer We spoke of [garments and those under?] We spoke of… [water? & (the?) unawares] We spoke of candy & sugar & turnovers We spoke of The Universe We spoke of [the utmost] undermining & overwhelming [of things] We spoke of the [most] instantaneous Of guilty pleasures And that Life takes time; Most times… And that while you wait— You’re missing it; Missing the point The[/that?] point A to point B Is the least of your worries And it makes you wonder Not the “whys” of it all, But the particular ice-cream Is God’s favourite. ©2025EllenFinn

We Spoke Of
We spoke of flowers and sunsets [We spoke of] sunrises and cucumbers in the summer We spoke of [garments and those under?] We spoke of… [water? & (the?) unawares] We spoke of candy & sugar & turnovers We spoke of The Universe We spoke of [the utmost] undermining & overwhelming [of things] We spoke of the [most] instantaneous Of guilty pleasures And that Life takes time; Most times… And that while you wait— You’re missing it; Missing the point The[/that?] point A to point B Is the least of your worries And it makes you wonder Not the “whys” of it all, But the particular ice-cream Is God’s favourite. ©2025EllenFinn
...Just trying to get this year's poetry up and running... ...Maybe will go back to edit later... ...Just thought that this poem "shows the tedious work of the poet" up close...
