THREE 5,7,5's FOR THE PRICE OF ONE

Michael Edwards

 

 

 

Winter approaches

A fleecy cinerous sky

The promise of snow.

 

A sweet probing tongue

Caressing strokes delivered

Sharp edges cut deep.

 

Declining sunlight.

Mysterious expanses

Mile on sombre mile

        Michael,
        This makes me think of cozily sitting by the fireplace on a snowy evening! Beautiful painting to illustrate poem. Very nostalgic! Thank you!

                That second stanza did it for me in this 5 7 5 posting of super quality - watercolour is first rate too.

                • Michael Edwards

                  Thank you Fay - it's great when you come up with something a bit special - and then you wonder where it came from and whether you'll be able to repeat it.

                  These were really well done. The second one adds a different tone, a sensual one. Thank you for sharing.
