Notes About The Poem

Shattered

Chaos color blast
blue sun is traveling fast
past a blood red moon.
Creatures scurry for cover
on the dark side of summer.

Red tailed comets streak
Paisley colors growing weak,
Midst music, dance, laughs!
Night has destroyed amber day;
and the world's in disarray.

Hilda Greenhough Date: 5/12/2025 7:09:00 AM Times of upheaval seem to fluctuate, coming and going, but always promising to come back. I love your poem is like the energy. I like the reference to paisley fading. How the fading of textiles leaves me forlorn. Login to Reply Evelyn Judy Buehler Date: 5/12/2025 8:05:00 PM Thank you for your heartwarming response, Hilda.
