~ and silence pressed against the burning lamplight
casting oil shadows on the fallen roadway thickly gravelled
evening heavy, densely draped 'round people's passing
summer's sojourn traced upon the road less travelled
velvet grasses pressed on nature's blanket, resting
blinks a wayward eye to this day's rising dawn
stepped like raindrops to the creature's softly cresting
blew the breezes thickly perfumed o'r the pond
night air lifts its' tempo singing sweetly
and lamplit shadows dim to forest's metronome
to release the final rapture to this new day
muted ears to hear the music, n'er the song ~
Please tell me what you think

Very pretty. The phrase "road less travelled" always stops me as I remember the Frost poem. You have some really vivid images in here like "lamplit shadows dim to forest's metronome" which stumpted me completely. Good write.

This is a lovely poem, Sherry-Lee...it read like a song - a summer's song of rapture! Wonderful imagery and I loved the "forest's metronome" metaphor. It is still winter here and very cold in SA, but you brought summer right back - actually forwarded it with this lovely poem!
