Teton Goodnight

TETON GOODNIGHT From the hollows in stone the departing sun Pours the twilight round the mountains’ curtains, Drawing together their shades’ Gold end. Aye, the golden day Is spent, worn against Raw rock thrown upright two miles high: Bouldered shoulders close over - Michael’s knelling golden clarion. ………………………………………………………………………… NOTE The Tetons in Wyoming - one of my favorite places. They are seen to excellent advantage in the movie “Shane”.

Andrea, thanks for reading my doggerel, I always appreciate your support...... may i ask a favor? please look closely at the fourth line of the poem...I asked my wife and she couldn't "see" it....is it "seeable" to you? (I thought I was being clever..... won't give any clues)....best wishes Syd
