This is our homework for class SUNSET TO SILENCE Sunset in forest one can only imagine horizons are lost and all of the day remains in distant tree tops yellowed Autumn's colored skies burning by descending sun nature's power shows reflected off falling leaves of orange of red of bronze Such is a gnarled oak squirrel's home in a hollow fresh acorns abound gathered into storage room food supply through wintersleep Fragile woven webs season of cross spiders catching little flies in fine threads of entrapment glistening with morning dew Silence before storm a moment of inner peace before hell breaks loose and frees old water once more from its cyclical blue rage I await the snow under clear blue autumn sky and red of apples sometimes showing a brown spot frontdoor of a bug's safe house Snuggle under down keep the crisp air at your nose and dream spring meadows sipping wine close to hot stove what more is there to wish for from Titia & Krawdad A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |

Thanks to you all. It was real fun to write with Krawdad and to my amazing it didn't take any time really. I wrote some lines and he completed them and the other way around. It only took two emails ![]() Thanks Krawdad for being such a delightful co-writer. See you in octoberclass. Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |
