Charles Messina Poet Quatrain

The Ruins of a Beautiful Evening

While I sip tea sitting in my cabana, enjoying the nature
I watch two deer playing joyfully as the sun shares
My lovely neighbors are barbequing 
Venison is on the menu...I have tears

Jennifer Proxenos March 28, 2019 at 12:56 AM So sad that these beautiful animals are killed and butchered for the enjoyment mostly of tourism, and then boast on their menus that venison is part of the meal.They are so nimble and dainty as they move so, I can imagine your tear when you realized and imagine their fate! Poetry hugs, Jennifer. Jennifer Proxenos March 28, 2019 at 12:58 AM I got so caught up in this poem Charles that I forgot to congratulate you on your win. Hugs, Jennifer.

Vladislav Raven March 24, 2019 at 12:02 PM Hi Charles, such a wonderful write my friend. I can picture the beautiful scene so easily and I share the feelings towards the Venison. The scene at the beginning does give peace to the heart. Love the content of the joy and the tears. A fave. Have a wonderful Sunday. Your friend always....Mike. XX
