Moonlit Marsh

An Evening in the Country

By Judah LoVatoPublished about a year ago Updated 8 months ago 1 min read
Drawing by Judah LoVato

The sweet burn of bourbon warms my throat,

While the evening breeze brushes against my arm

to bring me scents of basin sage and damp earth

As the frogs gareek against the cricket's chorus

Down in the moonlit marsh where the shadows dance-

nature poetry

About the Creator

Judah LoVato

My collection of sometimes decent writing

Which I've left "there" for seekers to seek

Though I lack the grandeur of that Pirate King

Perhaps these pebbles can be a light

In this life, this laughing tale

    This is absolutely gorgeous - an exemplary entry for this prompt! Each sensation comes alive in so few carefully cultivated words; a masterwork, Judah!
