Evening of Our Great Content

Lorna



The slant of the late day sun

Shadows over the garden walls

Stripes the creatures foraging 

Their evening nuts and seeds

Dapples greenery with soft light

Sets off bursts of twinkle

As it skims the bird bath

Kisses us

Then dances off to join the night

    It's more than just the garden. I'll answer the call.

    • Lorna

      Love it!

    • Laura🌻

      Lorna,

      I’ve missed you dearly!
      Let’s answer that garden’s call with a big HELLO!
      HELLOOOOO...Lorna!🌞
      HAPPY 😃 to ‘see’ you!

      ~Laura~🌻

      • Lorna

        Hello right back L......... I've been reading Donna Leon and Guido Brunetti and swimming in the Venice canals........

        • Laura🌻

          Ahhh...beautiful Venice!
          How many of her novels have you read?

          • Lorna

            mmmmmmm..... well I recently printed a list so I could keep track and I think it\'s only about 4 so I have many many more to enjoy - now getting from library so have to keep \"score\" .... I gobble books and then two months later wonder why I\'m losing the plots...... but that\'s ok because I have favorites I love to read over and over (with time in between of course).... for instance, Ray Bradbury is definitely an October read.....

            • Laura🌻

              Yes, I also love to read...when time permits! I have certain favorites that I reread time and time again!

              • Michael Edwards

                I've read most of hers - but none in the last 4/5 years - must get up to date.

              • orchidee

                A lovely write and clip/pic Lorna.

                • Lorna

                  And you are a lovely write and clip/pic yourself Orchi...... have you been good?

                  • orchidee

                    yes, but Fido - me imaginary dog (aww) keeps barking if naughty people don't make poems 18+ if they should be! lol.

                    • Lorna

                      Are you under 18??? Oh oh, you've learned things you shouldn't know yet!

                    • dusk arising

                      I love that last line of this joyful poem.
                      Such a pleasing read and my smile widens on re-reads... into my fav's

                      • Lorna

                        Was hoping to make you smile!

                      • Neville

                        reads perfect... I wanna be there

                        Neville

                        • Lorna

                          Isn't it nice that we all share the sun, the twilights and the moon! They have seen every single soul ever put on the earth - always amazes me that Cleopatra and Anthony stood watching the same moon as me.

                          • Neville

                            yeah, and me...

                          • Fay Slimm.

                            Love the title and you capture it all Lorna and truly peaceful it is. Am on my way to join you there my friend.

                            • Lorna

                              I'll put the kettle on!

                            • Michael Edwards

                              A super write Lorna.

                              The dusk, in my opinion, is a very romantic time of the day, and the evening shadows are very different to the rising sun.
                              There is a certain romance you have displayed here.

                            • DesertWords

                              Lorna, I am so enjoying your work as I read my way through the long list. What an ease you bring to the page. I take a delicious bite every day. Thank you. Roger (The desert guy)

                            • DesertWords
