Natures Monet

Saxon Crow

The sun sets in its lazy, hazy way

Content from the masterpiece it made

Shadows stretch and yawn, settled from the day

Softly painting pictures wherever they choose to lay

        With a good upending in the title and good ending in four lines, you have, I believe cracked it, Sax.

            Oops lol! Why it take ya ages to write this one?! There ain't no extra-long words in it. Well, masterpiece is quite a long word, I admit!

              I had to actually think! Very taxing experience. I need to go lay down now

              • orchidee

                It's that thinking that does it - it's too much for us! heehee.
                Does it depend what time of day we think? Can we face a lot of thinking first thing in the day?!

                • Saxon Crow

                  Argh! Ive a headache coming on thinking about it!
