Cannons echoing in the west,
Birds returning to their nests,
Oranges, reds and yellows, painting a watercolor sky.
Bright flashes beaming, memories of the past,
Thumping rooftop rain,
Raindrops are rolling.
Into rooftop drains,
A lullaby, of falling tears,
Singing me to sleep,
To dream a lonely sunset dream.
Ron, although your comma usage is disconcerting, I like the images in the last two stanzas. If you'd immerse yourself in some good contemporary poetry, you'd improve as a poet. That is, if improvement is your goal. If you'd like, check out my new webpage: jeffersoncarterverse.com Let me know what you think of it. Yrs, JC
