While walking the dog the dark draws in so quickly… Winter waking up

I've never quite gotten a handle on the short forms, so I am always impressed when others are able to put together something so coherent and visual with so few words. Very nicely done! -G

You create a lovely picture, Laura...I can imagine you hurrying back home from your walk:) What about having it all in the present tense:) Warm regards // paul

Drew now draws ;) , when i think of it, that is how i actually thought of it when the image came to my mind, but my grammar is not the best. ;)

I see what you mean now with regards present tense Paul. I guess i'd have to re-think it now. Always good to learn something new! So you speak as though in the moment. Lesson learned :) much appreciated, Laura.

Hi Paul thanks for that Paul, I like your suggestion, I assume you refer to the title? Suddenly night falls or The night fell upon me or Rushing home?? Perhaps I need to ponder... Thanks!! Warm regards, Laura
