Return journey blues ( Quintessentially British & a sonnet )

By Stephanie Sideways

Like drones, all descending through dank, cool air.
Simple hours detach a sultry hot breeze.
Stubborn attire leaves sun kissed skin bare
Warm breath leaves in clouds from clement bodies

Antipodean are hankered and yearned
Past the conveyer of their yesterweek
Dragging the luggage of Landry, spurned
Assembled in haste, no wish to fold neat .

Weighty and weary, surrendered to home
Faces depict Father Time as a cheat
How could the fortnight be over so soon?
Fleetingly wanting time stuck on repeat

Holiday Sun now a near memory
Softening blues with a nice cup of tea .

You had some wonderful weather then and we are about to enter the summer weather pattern of rainy afternoons, and muggy as Hell! Always good to get home and guessed I missed you on the links, cheers!

I kept thinking about you . Every time I drove past a golf course in fact . You are the closest I came to meeting a poetry pal from another part of the globe. X
