Fade Away

Boris Reidel


ACROSTIC ONLY
gives a selection of phrases to work with.
I chose this one.


FADE AWAY

Faraway a lone bird calling
As the golden mist is falling.
Darkness hovers near at hand
Evening shadows paint the land.
All the trees stand tall and black
While the next bird answers back.
And the moon has risen to say
'Your lovely day must fade away.'


Another evening here:

The imagery all works well together, and the picture, too. Not so much a marriage, more a manage a trois!

While all your poems deserve an award :)))) delighted to see the accolade received by way of BWA award.

The poem matches the picture and can feel it "fading away".
