Falling into the Night.

Goldfinch60

I was sitting in the garden,

Sitting and pondering,

Pondering over nothing,

When I came to that time,

That time when it happened,

When the Summer evening

Was closing its bright eye,

It’s eye slowly falling,

Falling into the night.

      I like this - you certainly can't beat a good ponder.

      • Goldfinch60

        Pondering is good, it stops you thinking because thinking is bad for you. Thanks Michael.

          I much prefer to ponder
          I never want to thunk
          For thinking makes you squander
          Your ponders chunk by chunk.

          A fine write Gold. Help! We'll wish Summer away, what with:
          * oh the nights are drawing in now
          * only just under 5 months to Christmas
          * it's all downhill now until the Shortest Day!

            The C word is banned until December!
            Thanks Orchi.

                It would be a shame to squander a good ponder, now wouldn't it? Enjoyed it, Goldie!

                • Goldfinch60

                  As far as I am concerned Gold, you just ponder on and share these wonderful pondering results!

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Thank you Fred, it is more rewarding than thinking.
