They'd walked the downs that day, and now
they sat and pondered how
their day had been, their trills, their smiles, their frowns -
the fire burnt low but still so bright
the clouded sky - though light
behind the singsong pine trees - didn't show.
Content to sit after their walk
they didn't want to talk
and none would like to be the first to quit.
When all the red had turned to grey
and birds announced the day
they said goodnight, went silently to bed
and quickly crept into their tents.
Pale daylight filled the rents
but they were deadly tired and they slept
until they woke to shout and run
and have a lot of fun
and treat that solemn night as just a joke.

twelveooneabout 11 years agoeasy rhyme to simulate children?
and killed by the word "solemn" may have been one of your words, but doesn't fit the tone
think it though
When all the red had turned to grey
as ash would say

DawnJover 11 years agoThe spirit of a child, wanting to savor every moment, and never let go of the joy, and the soul of a grown-up, able to savor the depth and completeness of that joy!
