In the Gloaming



 

 

I wait by the window

for your return,

like wilting flowers awaiting sunlight…

in the gloaming.

That's really plain yet creative poem! The words are lesser than twenty but it's meaningful. I wish I could also write some short innovative words.

Just keep at it...it will come! ...thank you!
Your words and the image speak volumes, Kelly. I love this sad but beautiful poem. I definitely agree with the others that the word "gloaming" depicts a wonderful emotion.

After what I have read here, you're certainly right, Dara! ...thank you, my friend!
Oh you are the master of such few words that say so much! I am in awe how you do this girlie!.. Love the metaphor use,,,i can clearly see the person sitting in an chair by the window.. sitting up straighter each time a car light flashes past the window only to feel that drop of disappointment every time it is not them!!
Beautiful, sad and brilliant !!

You said a lot in the short poem. All of us need the sunlight of love and kindness. Thank you Kelly for sharing the excellent poetry.

You are welcome Kelly.
Beautiful! The word Gloaming reminded me of a song my Grandpa had by Sir Harry Lauder a 78 called "roaming in the gloaming". A simple yet so reaching out kind of a poem (3d)

Lovely micro poem. The suggestion, I suppose, is that you've waited all day. "Gloaming" is such a lovely word; I'm glad that you wrote a poem featuring it.
