A lemon sherbet sky Brought its chill to the evening The sun, released from its obligations of the day, Slipped quickly from sight As twilight consumed Trees shivered in Autumn winds Sending their loose leaves scattering Laying a carpet of burnt sienna on the cold ground Darkness came and the earth became silent A time to reflect on the beauty daylight brings And allow the night to put it to rest The glow of a nightlight moon comforts as peace comes Copyright © 2022 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Prompts Light - RDP Open Link Weekend - Earthweal

Way Up There
Way Up There
Looking through the window every morning The sky, big and blue would call to me It’s clarity and open expanse, a welcoming sight each day Up there I would send my dreams to be carried on the wind My deepest, secret wishes hidden from spying eyes Cloud cover keeping them for me in secrecy Rain-filled cumulus would promise to send the curious running instead of staring up in wonder at the magnificence The noise of thunder, always my friend, scaring others away that I might dream alone of flying high above everything Away, away, away from the sadness here below Copyright © 2022 Christine Bolton - Poetry for Healing All Rights Reserved Linda Lee Lyberg is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight. D'Verse is celebrating its 11 year anniversary. Linda has given us some quotes from her favorite movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's based on the novel by Truman Capote. She has asked us to write a poem of 11 lines using one of the quotes as inspitration. I chose this one below, except I took another direction: "It’s better to look at the sky than live there. Such an empty place; so vague. Just a country where the thunder goes.” ― Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany's and Three Stories Image by Dimitris Vetsikas from Pixabay
