Twilight settles over Como Park.
The small lake sleeps within its quiet banks.
A rim of careening cars orbits
the green freshness of my slow walk.
Two crows call insistently from an oak tree.
Three more join them, settle within
screening leaves, calling for more of their kind.
Four circle in on different arcs,
blending their fluttering voices. Then,
at some appointed moment, they rise in flight.
I watch amazed as a dark cloud disperses -
eighteen black wings flow in silent blue flight.
Special moments of nature, captured wonderfully in these melodious verses. Good poem
Wow. The vivid descriptions in this poem make me feel as if m taking that walk with you. Love this poem and adding to my favorites!
I loved every word you have written here. It is so difficult to take a scene from nature and do it justice through wording and poetic prose. You have done so, with the amazing imagery that you use to draw in the reader. The small lake sleeps within its quiet banks. A rim of careening cars orbits blending their fluttering voices These three lines are my favourite for the imagery it employs. An all round excellent narrative of an extract from nature. I know how difficult it can be to write on nature, I too have written 1 poem about nature, do read it (Awake in the morning) . Thoroughly enjoyed this poem :)
