At a distance, yells the mysterious creature ––
We’re tired and dozy
Will you keep it down!
What’s with the moaning?
Gloating won’t win
It’s been a long day hiking.
Sun rays bedazzle
Water a mirror reflecting
A glimpse of her world
Staring agape in wonder.
A twilight experience
As the sun winks;
A pause to welcome the night.
P.S. If you fancy nature/love poetry for summer reading, Seasons Defined, an e-Chapbook is available from Amazon for 0.99 cents. Go grab your copy! 🙂
I love that time of day too. LOL, and contented silence is better than moaning to appreciate it.
Got my copy, Khaya. Congrats on the new book. I look forward to the beauty of nature in your words. <3
“Sun rays bedazzle

Yes, I feel it! Wonder keeps our senses alive.
If you like that, I’d recommend her other collection of poetry, also: ‘From the Depths of Darkness’
🙂
I’ve caught up again, and I am sorry I was gone for a while. The poetry is beautiful, Khaya!
Hi Diana! Thank you for being such a great supporter of my work. I appreciate this a lot. I must point out though that I think you already have Seasons Defined chapbook as it is not a new book. My hope is to bring my backlist to the attention of my recent blog followers. But thanks once again for your purchase. Perhaps you can pass the second copy as a gift to another poetry lover. <3
Regarding a new book though, a full-length poetry collection titled "The Sheltering" will be coming out in autumn, if things go according to plan. I haven't even started talking about it here on the blogs as I'm in the thick of the technical & business side of it, in preparation for publication. But now you know! 🙂
The feeling of utter joy and contentment in nature is a state of mind I’d like to inhabit. And the contented silence is the best.:-)
You feel it? YAY! my job is done. 🙂 Thanks dearest, Laura. Here’s to keeping our senses alive! <3
Laura, you have no idea how super grateful I am for your support and your recommending of my writing to other poetry lovers! THANK YOU! <3 <3 <3
Oh my gosh Lavinia, no need for apologies. Your health comes first, I’m just happy to see you around and hearing that you’re feeling alright. I hope you know that I’m honoured and grateful each time you return to read. Much appreciated!
Amen to that!
You’re more than welcome.
Oh! Thanks for letting me know. Usually Amazon tells me if I’ve already bought a book. Well. I’m looking forward to the next. Hugs.
Yes, I saw that I’d reviewed it in 2018. I returned it, my friend. I’ll happily pick up the next.
Lovely!
You are a gift. Thank you, my friend. <3
Lovely to see you here, Cynthia. Thank you for reading!
Wish I could visit more often. Your blog is a breath of fresh air.
Beautiful poetry as usual, Khaya!
Awww! Thank you, Cynthia. Your kind comment means a lot to me. <3
Thank you always for reading, Natalie. Much appreciated!
