The twilight scene adds poignancy to the poem.
Lary, a delight to read your poem.

This one is a stunner Laryalee – a depth of emotion in the images which is charged. I love it.

Thanks, Chen-ou and Dick. This was written before Haiti’s earthquake, which has sadly removed any hope of 2010 being a good year.

Thank you, Laryalee. The spiced tea is so cozy and the unrest so far away. I love the feeling I get reading your poem.

I agree with the above comments Lary! This is such an excellent poem in terms of demonstrating contrast and the principle of “ma.” Certainly one of my favorites out of your recent work!
