Poetry for today:

Enchantment-

Enchantment
On warm summer nights
the porch becomes our living room
where Mama takes her reading
and Dad I play games
in the patch of brightness
the lamp scatters on the floor.
From the darkness, others come –
small round bodies
clinging to the screens
which separate us
from the yard beyond.
Drawn to our light,
the June bugs watch our games
and listen to our talk till bedtime
when Mama darkens the porch
and breaks the spell
that holds them close to us.

Ducks on a Winter’s Night
Ducks asleep
on the banks of the pond
tuck their bills
into feathery quills,
making their own beds
to keep warm in.

Night Story
When the blue page of day
Is turned to night,
An alphabet of stars
Is printed, small and bright,
On dark and ancient-storied skies—
We read the universe With wondering eyes.
