Reminders

Fay Slimm.

 

Reminders.

 

And afternoon yawns as sea gently lolls

in pillowed lull of low tide.

Clouds sag with drowse of white fuzz

on warm hillock-grass clifftop.

 

And sun sinks in shawled clover as cattle

milk-laden homeward slow swing

past river bank a-buzz with low swarms

of late hatched mate-hungry gnats.   

 

And lust and lilt of summer will linger

while dusk striates luring skies          

yet twilight chill creates mauves for

reminders as autumn moves in.

  • dusk arising

    Oh i lazily walked that lane from low tide through the afternoon drinking in such painted atmosphere and felt the dusk advance the waiting winter's air as late hurry took me toward stoveside warmth.

    Yep, felt this one poet. You sure can paint them Fay.

    • Fay Slimm.

      Delighted the words made your virtual walk more pleasant dear Dusk - - painted with pleasure I do assure you.

      beautifully worded, a sublime depiction dear Fay:
      'lust and lilt of summer
      will linger
      while dusk striates, luring skies
      yet twilight chill, creates mauves
      for: reminders'
