Evening deepens into twilight.
Sky feathers of profound blue
and downy gray
fly swiftly
in a declaration of wind and wings.
Echoing across the night filled cove,
wild geese rise from the dark water.

Observations from the Ozarks
what a great interpretation of geese this time of the year… read through you poetry book last night… i did enjoy it, but also have seen how much your work has grown since it was published… time to put another one together?
Thanks, Patti – yes, years of writing certainly do show change and growth and hopefully maturity – smiles! So many of those poems are now 20-25 years old – hard to believe. And I am thinking about a new book – would like to do a volume of the best from the blog also writing a chapbook this winter hoping to publish.
Did you have snow this weekend? We had our first frost yesterday morning.
Beautiful–my favorite time of day.
Thanks, Jeff – mine too!
I love that “declaration of wind and wings”. A beautiful night sky, indeed.
Thanks, Sherry – the clouds were so beautiful that evening.
I’m constantly amazed at how eloquently you describe the changes in the seasons!
I’m so used to reading your blog in my E-mail that I didn’t realize you’d changed up your header. It looks good!

Thanks, Nancy – so happy to see you. Loved your invitation to tea and all your creative Oct posts. Happy you are back to posting more – give my beagle friend a ear scratch for me. Did you hear we have a new furry kid – Theodore Valentine – he’s such a good pup!
So you have two fur kids now? I know you got one shortly after your pup passed away or is Theo the same one?
I apologize for not commenting more on your posts, but I do enjoy them. And your friendship (which is even more important).
Theo is our only – he came to live with us this past Valentines Day – it had been almost 2 years since we lost Lulu – And don’t worry about commenting – just happy to see your ‘likes’ and to know you have dropped by. Have a beautiful Sunday and a good week, my friend!
