Monday WRites 172

[images from google dot com used in today's Mosaic]


FOUR STANZAS OF GRAY
Night lamps sleep in the street
Tired from overseeing its quiet
Few stirrings of cobalt hours
Fade to dawn's delight of gray

Stay awhile the stormy hips
Of unseen slyphs urge on
So trees dance a wild dance
In gray hours of morning light

Not a coo from resident pigeons
Gray feathers hushed and folded
Song of raindrops fill the air
Let rainstorm voice her discord

Washed gray the empty street
Well that folks be dry indoors
Azure waits above hidden from
Treat of rainy morning's accord.

  3. A pretty poem -- but I don't think of grey in association with where you live! It is more the color of Oregon in the winter (when it rains and drizzles).

  5. Like Sallie said I wouldn't think your skies are ever grey but the grass is always greener as I well know from my recent experience with a cow! Thanks for sharing your verses with the MM crowd again this week.
