Le Mot Juste

The grey light of evening dips and sways. 
Evening birds bleat
their lonely tattoo. 
Gone are the jays...

Sparkling little star,

So much you warm my heart,

A little girl in pigtails

Made of sugar and spice,

But enticed with snails and mice

And puppy-dog wagtails

When you sing...

Premium Member A Rustic Vermont Landscape
The verdant leaves
of the cherry trees
rustle as a wagon
loaded with corn
rides deeper into the wide ruts
of a rustic road,
hungry ruminants wallow

Eilat, seems deserted, some Antofagasta,
Chile's North, before my eyes.	
Bordering Jordan not far, there,
where the  hills are tinted  in blueish-grey,

drops small rocks;

Juffair
The Wagtails gathered before sunset,
Dancing their olive steps
Around treetops,
And chatting like teenagers
At an auditorium.
 
The sky, dreaming
Of dusk at its sapphire edge
Played with the palm...

The golden leaves fall off
the cherry trees groping 
on the steep cliff,
the tall marabous lament...diving
in dark, shallow waters 
their racous cry announce
the arrival of winter...
