Notes About The Poem

Misty-Eyed

Sweet mists of morning, and rose red mystery,
So much color all around, nothing is left to see,
Orangey mists of twilight, a tangerine surprise,
I can't see pearl stars, for beauty's in my eyes.

Golden mists of afternoon, hazy clouds in grass,
Pretty as a silken flower, though it will not last!
Deep purple midnight mists, so airy and dreamy, 
Wafting in my gardens, in the moonlight creamy.

Well, Evelyn, you’ve done it with this poem…i’m ready to move by you. Such colors! Such gardens! Such spiritual growth in your surrounding sights! Let me know when the realtors put the For-sale sing up on your block…God bless you! Fabulous sensual imagery!

Sally, thank you so much for your fine compliments. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed this poem, and I will definitely let you know when a For-sale sign goes up on my street, although the beautiful, natural world is as big as a 'house, and probably much bigger even! :D
