In The Glimmer Of Twilight Ash Poem by Keith Parsons

In The Glimmer Of Twilight Ash

Rating: 4.0


Rock solid but only of wood
Firm legs firm, as firm legs should
Burden a beam above the ground
To push and hold the pushing down

Race a storm to shutter a sash
Creaky cold repel the blast
Stoke the raging furnace fire
Expel the warmth to all's desire

Revealing light of springtime shows
A crack or two from bearing load
Summer's here, repair anew
Fresh facade hides well the glue

Autumn colors blend and frame
A domicile they proclaim
In the glimmer of twilight ash
Lie the timber born of rasp

A finely-expressed, muscular paean to wood, carefully carved and well-rendered in words!
