evening walk
fireflies are out
blink-beckoning
cool air rises from the creek bed
feel it twine around your workday ankles
sherbet sky darkens to naviest blue
Venus sends her greetings
June night unfolds
all frog song and honeysuckle and starshine
come with

i would love to ‘come with’!! what a delightful place to be.
So many great, refreshing details!
Thanks for the invitation! Love “workday ankles”!
pleasant image and walk.
Reading your poem is taking the “evening walk.” The imagery is so visceral that I see, hear, and smell the outdoors. Such an exercise expressly counters the effects of “workday ankles.” Beautiful writing. Grateful you are participating in Lexpomo. Be well
This just envelopes me in a summer evening stroll. So evocative! Love it.
Lovely invitation to a walk under a “sherbet sky.”
Yes! to “workday ankles”
Love the diction and unexpected combinations.
The short phrases nearly feel like breathing
