The Chimes Of Twilight Poem by nimal dunuhinga

The Chimes Of Twilight

Rating: 5.0


Chrysanthemums are flowering in autumn and the faded leaves of flamboyant trees blown with the autumn winds.
The time has come to whitewash the churchyard tombs and I can hear my chum's silent song like a chirping.
A far smoke is carrying off from a chimney.
This gloomy evening an old lady is picking some fallen leaves in the garden and the sun's last light focused on my window.
Suddenly I closed as the mosquito soldiers try to invade my room.

This beautiful poem reminds me of the work of Sandra Fowler - it has the same superb feel for description, the same highly original images and the same touch of melancholy just below the surface. Exceptional piece. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Only a very musical soul could have heard the far away chimes of twilight and created this exceptional word painting. Very lovely work, Nimal. Warm regards, Sandra
