Amber Nights

Amber Nights



The streets where I live are soft as rugs,
Lamplights of deep amber light them.
A lone, orange tabby trots on his way,
Nobody yelling to f'ind him.

The stars' eyes peek over sleepy trees.
The moon lights a white cat asleep on the deck.
The waterfall drips happily,
On goldfish , so joyful beneath her.

I like how you tied in the lonely orange tabby with the goldfish, who was joyful. Two orange beings, one sad, the other amazingly happy. Great contrast!

Hello, how déjà vu, you both chose the same line-))! I was going to erase this Poem. I suffer this problem with almost all of them. Poetry deficiency complex-)) At this point, I prefer to Comnent, than write a thing. I might learn something. A FAV? Really! An honor from someone of your abilities and love of other poets. You, Ann and Mark Tomey made me heavenly happy. Woo-hoo. Bless you all. PANAGIOTA

Good Day, Ann and thank you. My mind was a blank. And all of a sudden I recalled how impressed I have been for 15 years since living here! The peace here is ineffable, I wish I could hug it. I was not going to post that. Now you made me glad I did. Again, thank you. Peace be yours, PANAGIOTA

That is so full of beautiful imagery I can almost see and feel the relaxed aura all around your streets 'as soft as rugs' Gorgeous write Panagiota. With kindest thoughts Ann xx
