No city lights mean stars to see. This makes me smile.

Poem Artwork

Mother doe with two in tow

Wanders across my lawn

Destined for their resting spot

Where they’ll stay until the dawn

 

The evening air is soft and thick

Woods cry out for a breeze

Fireflies twinkling in secret code

Offering messages in the trees

 

A tiny sliver of a brand new moon

Appears in the western skies

With Venus right beside her

Steering moonlight to my eyes

 

Distant flashes of lightning

A hundred miles away

Validates the forecast

Storm clouds are on the way

 

For now the sky is clear and bright

With countless stars to see

Against the ebony backdrop

Ozark evenings are for me

Superbly written, love the rhythm and the flow. It just rolls off the tongue and it paints a lovely picture in my mind. Standing O.

Sounds lovely, Patrick.
Somehow seems like I should be there popping a couple of caps off a couple of bottles of beer.

Now Patrick, twilight wandering suits you, and your words here are the dew over each blade of thirsty grass on your picture.

Hallmark nature card line, Patrick...it's beautiful there. The baby fawns are being born here this month too. It's always a joy to read your poetry. Have a great evening.

Love,
Sage
