Premium Member A Murder of Crows

a murder of crows
gathering in the gloaming,
swarming o'er gravestones...
denigrating the deceased?
or a macabre mourning?

Premium Member Eventide

Soft twilight
whispers in our dreams
dusk’s cool breath
silent hope
toast to gloaming, wander free
night’s gentle embrace.

In the Gloaming

In the absence of moonlight          Beyond midnight        Making love      In the gloaming      For an eternity         Hopefully Heaven

sun blinks in the morn sky dazzling dull day sharp shadows shiver gloaming glides in catwalking crescent moon

Gloomy Gloaming

You can always tell a British ghost
Because they all lived on beans and toast
No chill in the air
Could ever compare
With tell-tail fumes that float to the coast!

Only August gloaming now
never more than a memory

forever gone, September.

The Gloaming

The Gloaming 

In the gloaming,
Light fades and shapes lose their edge,
Uncertainty creeps in.


In the gloaming,
Leaves whisper and owls cry,
What can’t I hear.

In To the Gloaming

Gloaming
early evening
day following sunset
dare see changing good
nightfall.

No One Home

Fog from age settles in
Like a gloaming of night
Smothering from within
Extinguishing all light

Premium Member Garnet

Glimmers of rose petals
Glisten on the skyline,
Gold, glittered with deep red~
Gloaming gems, mirroring
Gossamer silk of stars,
Gliding across a love-
Glazed garden of yearning.

Premium Member Ghosts

Gypsy-like, ghosts wander,
gathering 'round gallows,
ganging in the gloaming.
Gleeful on Halloween,
gargoyles join their revels,
gaudy, garish and gauche,
glamorous in the gloom.

Premium Member Roaming In the Gloaming

Although we're isolated in our homes We still take leisurely drives in the gloamin' Absolutely no contact It's in the contract No matter how far away from home we roam
Form: Limerick

Ideas

ideas are the thoughts that we invoke

nothing else can make us choke

more than the idea of love

it is just like a dove

free and roaming

anything can happen 

from sunrise to gloaming

Premium Member Ghouls

Gloaming gone, gloom begins;
gabbling ghouls gyrate on
gargoyles, gawping with their
grim glaucous eyes, scaring
gravid girls, gormless boys;
goatish hooves gigue upon
gibbets, grave corpses jig.
Form: Pleiades

Premium Member Miss You

Gloaming ushers in pathos
Words spoken at night
You and I forevermore
Melancholy without you
Past frosted crystal lamp posts
The cemetery
This is where you’re resting
Came to tell you I miss you.

Premium Member When Jim Crow Goes Hunting For Gems

Teachers are supposed to be polishing gems.
But instead, are cracking the gloaming of innocents. 
Judging children by their race, when all they want to do is play.
Jim Crow is cawing for souls once again.

Her Twilights Last Gloaming

Turned day into night,
The drifting of eyes
Heaven’s secret… 
Once bliss
Now,
Spilled the blue from skies

Illusions of love
Cost of say 

My want for azure days
My Janice lost, to Jimmy’s Purple Haze

Premium Member Dead Letter Queues

"Dead Letter Queues"
In the In-Between time the letters materialise words lost, suspended in the Forever Gloaming (Lovejoy-Burton, August 2018)

Bad Night

The moon was fuzzy,
full, fat and bloated,
it should have been brighter,
it was somewhere between
stale-cream and a bad dream.
Back home 
from that queasy gloaming
we discovered a glass of milk
we had set aside -
had curdled.

Premium Member In the Gloaming

As mother Earth starts to close her weary eyes to sleep
The setting sun on the horizon slowly drowns in melancholy
Yet another day, almost over. And twilight is nigh

THE WATERHOLE

Two elephants merge
at the waterhole ~
entanglement of trunks

one emerges as
the gray-fountain leader ~
heavyweight of the dusty road

two images wane
in monotone gloaming ~
wispy clouds of dust
