Moonlit Night & Pink Flowers Bloom

Carpe Diem #1681 Troiku Month (10) moonlit night

the wild geese take flight
low along the railroad tracks

the wild geese take flight
wings softly stir the breeze
lonesome cry echoes

low along the railroad tracks
a stray dog drags his tail
fur against cold steal

in the moonlit night
a screech owls voice
pierces my heart

Carpe Diem #1680 Troiku Month (9) Pink Flowers Bloom

pale sea of pink
trailing across the sidewalk
primrose carpet

pale sea of pink
paints the morning sky
clinging to nights edge

trailing across the sidewalk
delicate pink flowers
entangle my feet

primrose carpet
softens the hard fringes
morning garden
