Utrillo-Like Scene in Delaware Sky most overcast Late winter afternoon Dark approaching twilight Pavement wet and black Building colors muted Headlights reflecting Long shines of bright Star-like glow ‘round streetlamps Silhouettes with black umbrellas Cluttering the walks Homes awaiting owners To turn on their festive lights And dress their night For the season |

Thanks ethome - for the past two days - my views are restricted to what I can see from my window and my imagination - your responses are most appreciated. |

I hope, Sir, that your Christmas lights up like the poems you bless us with...thank you for everything you share...God Bless you... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
