Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Verse

Our Silver Years

Our Silver Years

When, we two embrace our silver years,
Silver skies of autumn arrive mystifying form.
The forests’ green has a silvery hue.
Silence overshadows chirping birds and croaking frogs.
Even the roosters snuggle in oversleeping.
The dogs are romping; cats find warmth.
Children and grandchildren have gone their way,
When, we two embrace our silver years.

Russell Sivey October 27, 2014 at 11:33 PM You have written an awesome poem here Dane Ann! Just a friendly note there is an error however within your write... The fifth line has 8 words instead of seven. Try saying, "And baby goats huddle in the hay" instead. That works with seven words! I hope you don't mind me correcting you, I just want you to do well in the contest! I really enjoyed reading this wonderful piece here this evening! great Work!! Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen October 28, 2014 at 6:07 PM It's funny, I had originally written it with 7 words... then, I went back and added a word...yikes. Thanks for second catching my miscount. That's what I get for trying to write with children playing all around.
