Against the Dearth of Monday Poems
Where Sunday's Dreams are echoing


Monday is where Sunday's dreams
are echoing

in the high-ceilinged chambers
of your mind

Sunday's Amsel sings sweet in lilac trees
fading petals of beloved memories.

A Prince's Summer Palace
Prince Eugene's Schloss Hof
An hour's drive
east of Vienna in
Lower Austria

  2. Beautiful poem and lovely, pastel flowers on the sheer fabric! The fountain and the high-ceilinged room of Prince Eugene's Schloss Hof are exquisite.

  3. Beautiful poem; the photos do have a "monday" quality to them--bare, still, and then the hope of flowers to come. Lovely. Thank you.

  8. Merisi's ...
    Where light is lighter,
    And whites are whiter
    giving the scenes a tone much purer...
