colours forgotten

This was my entry in the Autumn Poetry Contest. (My congrats to FireFangled and Virgil on their well-deserved wins. :) )

colours forgotten

deep grey twilight shadows
lengthening across the garden
pulling a blanket over the day
and the doves call their mates home

harvest moon glows
in new moon hues
filling my window with his
distant dreams

starpoints gleam bright
blue shines of hope
i reach out and pluck one
to keep as my own

and i remember your love
in colours forgotten
or perhaps they never existed

I loved this Cdn. It's funny, because Fire's poem talked of Canada, I thought maybe his was yours, but yet, the style wasn't like yours. No matter. I liked them both, a lot.
Welcome back.

I thought the first stanza of this was such an amazing image. The entire poem was beautiful.

Long time since i saw u last posting something, Cdn. So welcome back. :)

And this is a beautiful little poem. I liked the first stanza most.

Where have you been Cdn? I was looking out for your poems. :)

Beautiful images in this one. Apart from the first stanza I like the one best where the speaker plucks "starpoints". I take it that you mean actaul stars, not a flower that I've never heard of? :D

Thanks for your comments, all of you. Much appreciated, as always. :) Barbara, yes, I do means actual stars. I'm temporarily without easy access to the internet, and school generally gets in the way of my poetry writing. I find it difficult to mix academics with my "creative voice." ;)
