LONELY ... a rondelet .. Maureen Clifford ©
Through open doors
he saw the wet and windy day.
Through open doors.
He heard laughter upon the moors -
smiling puddles begged kids to play.
The empty evening stretched away,
through open doors.

Re: LONELY ... a rondelet
So it is, Neville. Perhaps Maureen has chosen this spot because it is not exactly a bush poem.
But I think it probably belongs in ABPA members poetry - do you agree, Maureen?
Cheers
Shelley

Re: LONELY ... a rondelet
I think I was having a blonde moment or a bit of brain fade Shelley and Neville - the poetry prompts were in the wrong spot as well
Feel free to move it Shelley if you would

Re: LONELY ... a rondelet
I will move it Maureen - but as since discussed, the "mis-location" of the poetry prompts was not your error, but mine when I was moderating and locking the topic. Oops - and apologies.
