Poetry

Summer Evening

Rose Torrey

The light is soft,the air is moist,the water rushes fast,the stars shine,each one a glowing crumbin the sky.The land is quiet and solemn.The owl calls,without haste,“Whoo? Who?”as if talking to the column of moonlightthat stretches across the land,as if to soften the quicklygrowing darkness.The moon, full of solemnity,stares down upon it all.A beautiful painting, a lovely design.
