Black Velvet *New

.

In the black velvet night

Stars look ultra bright

No moon in the sky

Just you and I

Stand

Hand-in-hand

Under the canopy of light

Facing t’wards the east

Waiting

For the first rays of the sun

A new day has begun

A new world still to come

.

Must have been a ‘bug’ – Sorry!

I am a middle-aged South African woman, living in Johannesburg. I began writing poetry towards the end of May 2010. I love animals – sometimes more than people!

    Ah, that’s better.
    Right, now to have a glass of black velvet. Best quality stout and champagne in it! :)

    Nice, Denise.
    I seem to feel a note of Hope in your recent verse, Am I right?
    If so, how very nice.
    I cannot comment as frequently here, I am at my son’s home in Northern England!

      Thanks, John. Let’s just say things are picking up… maybe, maybe not.

      I saw your comment on your blog about being away and I have a question, if you don’t mind: if not Windows, what else is there? Maybe I misunderstood. I feel as if I’ve eavesdropped, lol!

      • johnell74 says :

        Well Denise, I am really a Macintosh man!

        Windows are OK to me, ut not as good an operating system, I believe.
        But this computer has a keyboard which feels a little strange as well.

        But i return home tonight
        Whoopee.

          Thanks for explaining, John. I do understand better now. Btw, ‘Macintosh man’ does have a nice ring to it, like ‘Bond, James Bond’, lol. I totally agree there’s no place like home! Be safe.

    Glad to hear that you’re feeling so good you’re looking forward to your medical checkup, Denise. Good luck!

    Blessings – Maxi

      Yes, I have no idea what happened yesterday, Paul. I think the eastern sky signifies hope – well, to me anyway. God bless you too, my friend.

    I love this. Such rich imagery. I can actually feel the velvet-coated night. And the sense of hope!

  9. 1smiles says :

    I can view these nights too over the lake. Looking to the East and wishing you well!
