Autumn sunset
blooms amber,
glows blood orange,
and lingers
in sky and treetop.
Wild dogwood berries
mix with acorns
and crabapples.
They snap underfoot
and perfume the air.
Everywhere color
fades to darkness.
No! Linger longer,
color wake and sky glow,
cast this fairy spell,
make sunset lengthen
until dark night
is the longest
of the year.

Note: Winter’s coming, but we’ve had a long, delicious fall with a universe of color. I meant this post for this morning, but life intervened, and my kids needed me.

Hi All!

Melanie here.  Just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you who have been sending in submissions.  As you may have noticed I haven’t responded to you or posted anything new for a couple weeks… I’ve been a bit under the weather and have completely neglected  Artists4Peace and my own blog.

Sorry about that BUT I promise I will be reviewing and posting submissions over the next few days.  In fact I will probably spread them out and post a few each day 🙂

Thank you for your continued support and for your understanding! AND keep the submissions coming!!!

☮ ❤ 🙂

Melanie

Weapons were silenced

A hush fell over the Earth

World peace was a reality

~

On battlefields every where

Soldiers began to sing

Weapons were silenced

~~

Refusing to fight anymore

For lands that were to be shared

A hush fell over the Earth

~~~

Rushing across the fields

Anxious to know their enemies

World peace was a reality

They studied war no more
