In the Gloaming Opening new this page, a day, where sky is smoky gray and moving and seagulls slant within the curve of listening surge of weather pushed and dripping still upon impression. I long for sun and sky of blue so night will bring this full moon now, that has been cast aside to bloom behind the gloaming. Imagine how it does beguile and turn the cumulous to glow, and there, a stage lit by candle, a star emerges thus, to sing behind her flowing, where wind has loosened the dark strands slant and cast them silver much like lover's whisper. Catch me now between you, oh cloud and moon, and I will dance across you thus and melt into dream’s delightful. For you see I wither here lost from beam across bare shoulder, covered in gown of cotton white and wanting only spring. And yet, your wet touched splendor has dressed the ground in green, and all around you bloom with jasmine that fills the night in me with longing coming through my heart of window. So dripping still on my impression my song has lifted and felt the rapture of each day that brings in wonder an opening new to page of time. -------- 3-01 |

Hi Martie, how are you? I have enjoyed reading this poem. Is "cumulous" being used adjectivally or nominally? ![]() ![]() |
