Notes About The Poem

Frolick

The fog frolicked in the hollow
Danced upon the verdant grass
Reached down to kiss sleeping leaves
Before its time to pass

Laughter echoed from the woods afar
Wildlife playing steel guitars
Birds sang a tune to blended keys
Their music a groov'n jar  

The sun through the haze tops the pines
Fog has settled entertwined
Stillness prevails quiet disturbed
By manmade motors fine

The radiant beams of morn's sun 
Filters through fogs clammy gray
Soon the heat will fill the moist air
The poet's night turns to day

You paint a haunting portrait here, Sara. A personal favourite of mine from your pen. Marvellous rhyming too, Howard

Howard, awesome that you find this one from the past to remind me of my early morns out on the porch. I hope to do that again. We have a very dark, cloudy morn here now. There was a luna eclipse last night. Sara K
