Night Too Hot To Sleep

Night too hot to sleep, Stand out on the back door step, Sweet smell of roses, Jasmine and various herbs, Still silence as I star gaze. Jack Horne, 14th July, for Francine’s Tanka Summer Nights contest

Oh yeah. I love to sit in the garden in the cool of the evening. Surrounded by the sweet smells of the garden and covered by the diamond studded blanket of darkness. Nice. God Bless, JB
