Evening Poem by elysabeth faslund

Evening

Rating: 5.0


In a draped parlor,
The soft Lady
Waits on her brocade
Chair.

Delicate, tiny,
Slippered feet, soundless
As she rises,
Greets

Her guest. Always
Arriving on
Time. Never hurried,
Calm.

She turns over the
Keys to her mansion.
Opens the drapes
Wide.

Never sunlight.
Always complete
Darkness takes her chair.
Night

Odd. Thought-provoking. Paints a scene using very few colors. -chuck

Sad and melancholy but somehow there's a complete story in those poetic lines. Not overdone, simply and discreet. Very nice indeed. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX

A pure pleasure to read. I love the delicate images of day passing to night and the elegant pause at the end of each stanza.
