An Eerie Eve

Ashen day turns into blackened night. One limb of a lonely tree stripped of its pre-fall leaves juts out against the backdrop of an inked sky scraped with gray. Dark clouds enfold the full white moon, who cannot break loose from these strange small hours’ grasp.

a lovely Etheree, Andrea. The first line grabbed me...the remainder of your poem reminded me of the one large oak tree in my parents' yard. I'd look out my bedroom window at its bare limbs jutting out into the night sky. The scene had an eery feeling to it until daylight arrived. I loved this one. Have a splendid day, Sara
