The Tenebrous of Evening

The Tenebrous of Evening

 

 

the willow weeps

with branches low,

a pendulum

sweeping

the tenebrous of evening.

[Ted Kniffen]

and with the pendulum sweeping
the dirt neneath the willows
the lone shadows are weepimg
among the tendrils of night.

Thank you Kelly ... for I have learned a new word ... and for that I am pleaded.

Well done

[Kelly Scheppers]

I felt the same way! It's a challenge for me to use a new word in a poem after it's brought to my attention. Good to have your presence here, Ted. Thank you!

I am extremely cautious about calling anything on this Site a 'Haiku' or a 'Tanka', but this certainly has that authentic Tanka feel to it Kelly. And what is Tanka ? Tanka is what happens when you cook a Sonnet to perfection ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

[Kelly Scheppers]

I've never written a tanka or a sonnet, but I'll take the compliment and run with it! Thank you, my friend!

Very nice Kelly. Unfortunately I see a poor dog beneath the tree. We had a beautiful weeping willow in our back yard beneath which my father kept chained a poor dog he abused. The situation haunts me to this day. I have very painful memories.

Such dark connotations to be shared. Thank you, Michael.

Much is dark and obscure these days. Your words reinforce that feeling that leaves one in the shadows. Always an elegant read from you, my friend.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I always find warmth in your words, be it a poem or a review. You never miss. Thank you, Mary!
