Prompt...And then
The orange sun hangs low
patterned by gum leaves
and palm fronds
the last boat wends its way
slowly to shore through
the reflected shimmer
Not a breath of wind
Everything is still before
the night curtains fall
the gardenias and jasmine
are putting on a special performance
even Tenzig our host's bengal cat
is staring at me with his jade green
eyes such a beautiful creature
And then I hear a car drive up
Louise and Colin are popping in
A pin scratches the surface of
a flawless pane of glass
Hi Rall,
ReplyDeleteLiked the build up in this; all those peaceful, exotic images - and then somebody has to go and spoil it!
It seem so!
