Endless something afternoons (poem)

[Everydayofmylife]

A poem popped into my head today and I’m going to be super helpful. I don’t know who it’s by and I can’t remember anything about it apart from a line that went something like ‘endless something afternoons’

I know that’s not a lot to go on but just on the off chance anyone knows it - would be so grateful!

Endless dogday afternoons? That's what came to mind. Off to google now to see if I'm right!

Nope...not that. Not sure how I got that phrase in my head, didn't even know what a dogday was until I just googled it. Hope you find out OP!

Made me think of Afternoons by Philip Larkin - https://medium.com/@NoamOsband/larkin-afternoons-338bf1d026fa

Or the song Acrylic Afternoons by Pulp!

Could it be a song lyric? Richey Manic was definitely riffing on Larkin with the line, ‘These sunless afternoons, I can’t find myself.’ in the song, ‘Yes’.

Not the song Sunny Afternoon by the Kinks? The line "on this sunny afternoon" sounds a bit like "endless sunny afternoons" because of the drawn out "on"!

Could it be 'winter afternoons'?

It reminds me of Emily Dickinson

Or TS Eliot, with the feel of endless afternoons but not the exact words:

'Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons, I have measured out my life in coffee spoons.'
