Spring Sunshine
A summer’s afternoon in spring
The lawn glowing in the light
Before me the ruined facade
of a once splendid house
towers sightless over box topiary.
Distant voices carry from the shadows
Two figures in 20s dress
wander languidly across the grass
holding parasols aloft
a tilt to the heyday of this house.
The slender forms drift away
and I’m left to focus on
wisteria in full blowsy bloom
And the shadows sharp on the lawn.

Hi Sue, you’ve taken me on a wonderful journey into the past. I love visiting old houses to hear the stories that they murmur. ~ Dennis
Glad you liked it, Dennis
So vivid Susan. Beautiful. I just posted a spring poem today. Feel free to have a look when you can. 🙂
Thanks, Nomzi…I’ll wander over when I get a minute… 🙂
Great. 🙂
This is lovely Sue, it could be Nymans.
