Analysis of Summer's night
Timothy Richard 1968 (Ky)
Flickering pinpricks
In the distance
"Hang"
In the night air
fireflies
on a hot
summer's night
Full moon
gently-n-slowly begins
It's evening arch
above the rivers
emerald Green waters
below
reddish-n-orange
purplish hue
Sun
slowly-n-gently
drowneding
in the river's
emerald green waters
gray mist
floating odd bits
silvery glitter
mystical-n-mysterious
shadows-n-shapes
spreading
across the sky
ghostly boney fingers
trying to save
the drowning
mystical
fiery
orangish red
