One Patch

Fay Slimm.

 

One Patch.

 

Dusk closed in

except for one gallant patch

of blue in night's thick

cloudbank that

still shone like a piece

of day which had

been left behind accidentally.

    • Fay Slimm.

      Good to hear you caught the gold in a last patch of daylight and thank you for sharing your glimpse too..............x

    • L. B. Mek

      firstly
      what a stunning image, dear Fay
      and your words take me back
      to all those days I have witnessed
      the gradual arrival of twlight
      while driving long distance
      or in the morning train to scotland;
      there is such a lovely fluidity
      to nature's artistry, but
      every once in a while, a rebellious corner
      of sky, lingers
      and drags it all out.. so much fun
      to witness
      lol
      such a lovely aspect of nature you've captured
      with these succinct words..
      beautiful!

        Sincerest of thank yous for sharing your blue patch L.B. - - a shower of gold fell from the one I was watching and I had to pen a small tribute to nature's surprises.

      • dusk arising

        OK so theres a tear in the seat of my trousers with me blue undies showing through.

        For me the dusk light arises from ground level or sea level as shapes become less distinct whilst skyward there is light. Hence my nom de plume.

        A romantic sight to linger over before one leaves deck for warmth of a cabin.

        • Fay Slimm.

          A fine nom de plume too I might add my dear friend. . Those surprise patches make daylight last longer and twilight more hungry to cover them over ..

          Aww, how beautifully captured in your words, such a vivid way to describe day turning to night, I really loved this.

          • Fay Slimm.

            And a big thank you for stopping by for the read and kind review K.R,

          • Jerry Reynolds

            Outstanding description of a moment, Fay.

            • Fay Slimm.

              Yes Jerry those patches last no more than a moment but oh how the light up the fast falling night-time. Glad you enjoyed the read my friend.

              A fine write Fay. So says Patch too, my other imaginary dog. Please excuse me talking rubbish sometimes! lol.

              • Fay Slimm.

                Good to read your fun comment dear Orchi and give my regards to your pretend dog Patch.

                • orchidee

                  He - or she - may be like Fido, and his eccentricities! lol.

                  It is so wonderful to see those patches of blue Fay. Wonderful words.

                  Andy
