In the sky, vagrant clouds drift.
The dale, dressed in st...

Having a Bonfire
...Stars twinkle in the sky
A gentle breeze tousles the hair
And without a care
We roast marshmallows
Over a bonfire
Gazing into the flame
Caught in a trance
The crackle and pop

in an empty feild
deprived of laughter and footsteps
upon its boards.

the black Bohemian sky,
crackling hard over sounds
of a furious pen scratching
coffee stained parchment,
pausing to stoke flames, ...
