The porch swing rocks
beneath a speckled sky.
Mosquito hums fill the air;
black wings swoop overhead
in invisible rustlings,
swallowing music.

Beautiful !
Thanks, Sylvia!
I began reading your blog posts last week and really enjoy them. The poetry is simple and leaves me with sharp images to think about. Sometimes, I wonder if you’ve been in my head! Thanks for writing them and sharing your thoughts with us!
Thanks for your kind words, Donna!
I love this!! I had a picture of this porch swing in my mind as I read this – and it reminded me of my Nana’s house. Thanks for that!
My pleasure, Sarah. Thank you for visiting.
🙂
I really, really love this!
Thank you! 🙂
Lovely poetry
Thanks.
Love this poem. Everything feels so real. ❤
Thank you, Ms. Wong.
I love this poem and in fact, I like the richness of your entire blog. Your breadth of creativity astounds. Thank you for visiting my blog. I started my blog just over a week ago and you were the first one to “Like” my poems. By following my blog, you have inspired me to write even more.
That is good to hear, JM, because that is precisely the reason I follow lots of blogs. 🙂 I love to encourage folks to continue to put their words out there, and I know how much I appreciated my first followers! 🙂 (and still appreciate new followers, of course!)
