Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

Lingering With You-Collaboration

Silent One....

Lingering light dwindles among the horizon
Twilight fades with a farewell from the sun
Shadows disappear as stars sprinkle the sky
with the moon illuminating those who walk by
Woods appear so much more ominous at night
silent blackness causing an overwhelming fright
Trees are like charcoal – inky blankets all around
as nocturnal animals hunt without making a sound
Country paths seem lifeless in the eerie dark
occasionally disturbed by a guard dog’s bark
Temperatures fall with the mid winter freeze
people feel the chill with the cold air breeze
Day light sneaks in as the sun begins to rise
the moon and stars hide away in disguise
Patiently waiting for the darkness to reappear
so they can play again, when humans disappear.

                
Response...

Sit with me as sunset silently drifts into the sea
and when he's closed weary eyes, linger with me
to walk beneath celestial skies. I'll hold your hand
pretending we're on a beach of warm golden sand
No trees will there be to thwart your imagination
Nor hungry beasts;  just some harmless crustacean
Frothy waves will chase us as they race ashore
Together, we will listen to the mighty ocean's roar
When the night grows chill, we'll stand in embrace
You'll gently lift my chin until we're face to face
A sensual kiss will allay our need to be shy
Lured by shining stars that are sprinkled in the sky
We'll spend the night entwined, until sunrise
when you wake and stare lovingly into my eyes
We've no need to wait for darkness to reappear
Loving you this morning made that perfectly clear

Silent One October 21, 2020 at 12:59 PM A romantic and sensual take on the contest, very different to all the others.. Congratulations on your placement in the contest.. Jenna Logan October 22, 2020 at 8:52 AM You no longer write for contests? I'm trying to win a challenge, so I've been entering quite a few. Silent One October 22, 2020 at 1:00 AM It was a great response. To be honest, I do not remember why I wrote it. Think it may have been for a contest... Jenna Logan October 21, 2020 at 3:55 PM I sensed loneliness on first read, so I soothed a soul...two souls. Different can be good. Thanks for the honor of a placement in your contest.

Anne-Lise Andresen October 18, 2020 at 6:33 AM - If I were to say exactly what I was thinking after reading this wonderful romantic poem in Norwegian ... I would say: "GURI MALLA " :))) .. it's an expression that can mean: "wonderful" ... "wow" ... "excellent" - hugs // Anne-Lise :) Anne-Lise Andresen October 19, 2020 at 12:13 PM - En glede :) Jenna Logan October 18, 2020 at 6:50 AM You are such a sweetheart for the many compliments you've given these lines. Tusen takk, Sunshine! Hugs, Anne-Lise.

John Gondolf October 18, 2020 at 6:14 AM I love this romantic response, Jenna, soft and sensual, and your last two live..."no need to wait for darkness to reappear", love is just as good in the daylight as in the darkness. Hugs. Jenna Logan October 18, 2020 at 6:29 AM Good morning, John, and thank you for your discerning thoughts. I wasn't sure how to respond the first time I read his lines, but on second reading I felt a sense of loneliness. Why waste a star sprinkled sky on worrying about eerie darkness, or wasting a beautiful morning? So, I thought I'd give him something else to occupy his mind besides animals coming out to play. ;)
