  POEMS OF THE DAY

              

THE SUNSET BANNER

by Lenore Hetrick

October carries a sunset banner,

For it is the sunset of the year

The hills are dying in the fire of glory,

The world will soon be gray and sere

But now to the sound of ancient bugles

Whose notes are borne to a far-off sea ,

October carries a sunset banner­­—

And it is a beautiful sight to sea!

           Her sunset banner is a gleaming gold---

As is the gold of the setting sun!

Her sunset banner is shot with flame—

As the western sky when the day is done!

And now the sound of rare, old bugles,

Whose notes are soft as a hidden rill ,

October carries her sunset banner,

And, singing ,she passes beyond the hill.

NATURE’S MUSIC

by Lenore Hetrick

I loves nature’s music,

And summertime songs.

In the forest her great singers

Gather in throngs

 

The wind play the harp,

And the birds take the tune.

The bass part is sung

By the man in the moon!🌙

 

Each one knows his part

To be very last letter.

And even or radio📻

Doesn’t sound any better!
