A continuing selection of classic and contemporary poems.

Bert Leston Taylor

In summer I’m disposed to shirk,
As summer is no time to work.
In winter inspiration dies
For lack of out-door exercise.
In spring I’m seldom in the mood,
Because of vernal lassitude.
The fall remains. But such a fall!
We’ve really had no fall at all.

What are tags?
