Serein

After 
sunset
fine rain
falling
falling 
without 
clouds to
be seen

"Suh-RAN"
is how
you say 
the word
a nice
one that
my ear
has heard

Hmmm, this is 10th one I clicked on and I can't seem to find a new one to respond to. Just now seeing an old message you left me here why you like writing vertical. An interesting perspective.

I appreciate your visits, Andrea. : ) I took out a couple poems that I thought were not all that good....

Thanks, Andrea. We're so used to reading left to right - going mostly vertical seems to slow things down to me, making for more a feeling of peace, or could be a longer session of unrelenting dread, or setting the reader up for a surprise, etc.

Nature does brings us these gifts for free if we only take the time to look and see. Beautifully done Doug.

Right on, Chris, thanks. When I worked in Jamaica, you could pick ripe mangoes right off the tree. That kicked ass.

Cheers, Rick. I love the evening in all its guises. "Civil Twilight, Nautical Twilight, Astronomical Twilight." It's all about that Solar Elevation Angle, baby.
