The Haunting Call of the Loon
by Jane E PearceThere's something delicious
about late afternoon,
appetizer to evening's
feast of contentment
Soft lights through pines
stirred by a breeze,
and the haunting call
of the loon.
.
Oil lamps cast shadows
over the gourmet repast,
the Victrola plays songs
that sweeten each taste,
with waltzes more symphonic
at dusk than at noon,
soft velvet night,
sweet velvet night,
and the haunting call
of the loon.
