Sara Kendrick Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Verdant Leaves

Through new tender verdant pecan leaves
A golden full moon cast shadows

The whip-poor-will loudly calls his lover
Full moonlight reveals secrets
Bobcat silently creeps

Full moon slowly rising on this cloudless night
Perfect in most ways, except for solitude
No one with whom to share beautiful sight
God is there and He does not exclude   

illuminating
full moon always wanes in time....
bobcat pounces once

Jack Horne April 27, 2022 at 6:42 AM love this - but oh, poor Whip-poor-will will call no more Sara Kendrick April 27, 2022 at 2:52 PM Jack, I am glad that it is imagination and not real, but it could be real. Thanks for dropping by. Sara

John Loving Iii April 25, 2022 at 2:52 PM another poem I read where you are alone. I can only imagine being single most of my life. And this another piece where the moon is the main attraction. But the piece makes it part of your lives. It becomes a place no matter where it is, Its the meeting under the moon. Sara Kendrick April 26, 2022 at 7:17 AM Yes, John. I was alone out on the porch but even if my husband or grandson had been there, I could have been alone. Probably not though because both of them talk a mile a minute and it is almost impossible to think when they are around. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

John Loving Iii April 22, 2022 at 4:32 PM Great approach I agree. but it does remind you of the solitude. Sara Kendrick April 23, 2022 at 3:38 AM John, I just heard the whip-poor-will at my awaking. They are so nice in the early evening hour and early morn. We have had them here ever since we moved into this home. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara
