In Your Words
Richard H. Fay
|
musty yellowed leaves
broken spine and cracked
binding
treasured ancient tome
***
the scent of old books
hushed whispers in the
aisles
library visit
***
home of sprites and elves
bearer of shaded secrets
gnarled ancient oak
***
mysterious bough
sacred to the ancient gods
golden mistletoe
***
lowly brown lichen
growing on a bare rock
humble pioneer
***
soaring eagle
spots a meadow vole
death sustains life
***
trusting big brown eyes
wagging tail and lapping
tongue
faithful canine friend
***
warty pariah
hops alone through the
green grass
ugly friendless toad
***
midnight acrobats
catch mosquitoes on the
wing
bats in the moonlight
***
sand grains on a beach
far too numerous to count
forever shifting
***
a white fog rises
from the cool dewy earth
river valley morn
***
the slowly sinking sun
bathes the land in golden
rays
summer afternoon
***
delicate seedling
scrawny sapling reaching
up
tall forest elder
***
traces of passage
impressed into the soft
earth
footprints in the mud
***
gossamer silk traps
bejewelled by morning dew
tiny weaver's webs
***
arrayed sentinels
verdant crown of regal
green
quiet wooded copse
***
youngster's childish sobs
a life's sweet and bitter
tears
oldster's rheumy eyes
***
gulls soar in circles
over a foamy white sea
seabirds at the shore
***
feline family
jungle king and his court
a lion's pride
***
transparent body
forever changing its form
tiny amoeba
***
