The Greatest Show On Earth

When shadows of the evening fade, And earth she wears her darkest dress, It's magic time as stars parade, Like jewels, into jet inlaid. We gaze, as land and sky caress, When shadows of the evening fade. As daylight and the nightime trade, The world still turns, for this we bless. It's magic time as stars parade. Our moon each night will serenade, Her timeless flight, for loves success When shadows of the evening fade. The milky way's a silver braid, Like diamonds sparkling in a tress. It's magic time as stars parade. The zodiac, earths rich brocade. This bracelet , charms us with finesse, When shadows of the evening fade. It's magic time as stars parade. I told Jan Allison this was the first poem i had ever written. I was mistaken, recently i found an old school exercise book, With a poem i wrote in 1951 aged 11. It was named The Tramp. So i entered this on Poetry Soup also. Regards George. 8 / 31 / 2017.
