crescent moon

sliver of gold

hovers over

clouds of pink

in wide expanse

of bluest blue

as sun sets

on august night.

 

great day out

meeting good friends

stony beach on sussex coast,

fish’n’chip lunch at seaside café,

walking the dog on concreted prom

warm and cloudy, sultry day

just a breeze along the coast

sharing stories, exchanging views

invited back to holiday home

converted barn providing interest,

eats and drinks, many laughs,

good times over all too soon.

late sun just appearing

in time to set

 

crescent moon

spotted again

through tall trees

darkening skies

just a sliver

gold turned silver

as she heralds

journey home.
