Evening Poem by Tan Pratonix

Evening

Rating: 4.3


Far off
a flight of swallows turn and
head with tinkle-bells
of carts, winding
down a country
lane towards
their distant
home.

And in the fields the women
sing, a strange sonorous
melody, sinking with
the orange sun
in slow and
steady
note.

I see this pastoral scene; quiet and unassuming with bells to break the monotony. I like this. Nice poem. L
