SUMMERS GONE
SUMMERS GONE
Maureen Clifford © The Scribbly Bark Poet
Summers gone, winter approaches,
mornings now are cold and crisp.
Dew lies heavy on the grass
and sun comes late. Merely a whisp
of mist still lingers
trapped in hillside valleys deep
hidden from wan sunlight fingers.
Summers gone.

Sometimes an economy of words can say it all.
A lovely verse, almost as short as the winters day.

Re: SUMMERS GONE
At the risk of repeating myself Maureen, this is another that paints a clear picture, this time in very few words. I can really see the wisp of mist lingering trapped in the valley.
