bare of leaves and children's voices,
listens as the bell tolls

Grace @ Everyday Amazing
~0~0~
the night stings-
hornets swarming the sky-
empty of your blooms
"Everyday in every way I’m getting better and better" - Emile Coue
the bells tolling in the first is rather chilling....and the hornet stings of night with out them in the second is really cool and emotive as well.....nice grace....smiles.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Trees have such a different 'flavor' in winter, don't they?
ReplyDeleteLovely images of winter. Agree with Brian that there's a real sense of foreboding in the bell tolling across the silence. The stinging hornet sky makes me want to stay indoors in the heat!
ReplyDeleteLove the use of the word 'stings' to convey the pain of winter! Perfect.
ReplyDeleteThat second one is a bit of a heart-breaker, Grace. I actually teared-up reading it.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to be back on your Everyday Amazing, work has me not blogging so much, but it's a treat to be here.
Hope you and yours are having fun. I bet your daughter is excited this time of year.

ReplyDeleteGrace, Wonderful, as ALWAYS
ReplyDeleteYou nailed the theme on "the night stings - hornets swarming the sky.' Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteFor whom the bells toll is sad when children are involved. Coupled with night stings both conjure pain hard to endure! Nicely Grace!
