Jan Allison Poet Verse

Evening On the Pier

Enjoy simple pleasures
Sun setting overhead
Hues of orange and red
Stunning beauty

Fishermen sit waiting
For a big fish to bite 
Catch one with pure delight
Superb supper

Moon glints on still waters
Casts a silvery glow
Clouds create a shadow
Dark inky sky
