Ah, the quiet, the long views, the setting sun. We arrived in time to see the sunset and have the cooler night breezes beginning. I never tire of Aroostook County. So here's an Etheree for last night...remember an Etheree is 1 to 10 syllables increasing for each line.
Tree
Shadow
As sun sets
Flowing growing
Cool shady fingers
Stretching, reaching warm ground
The sun probes leafy branches
Piercing through to the dark green side
One last bright spot before sun’s rays slip
Below to grace someone’s morning coffee
Beautiful picture and poem to go along. Love the last two lines..."to grace someone's morning coffee" is just a lovely thought!
ReplyDeleteLovely. :) I think Etherees are fun to play with. Yours paints a very vivid picture in my mind.

Nice words again! I like the 'sun probes leafy branches'.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful poem! I like "flowing growing, cool shady fingers".
ReplyDeleteLovely rhythm to this poem. The picture is fun to compare to the image painted with your words.
