Blue shadows of evening
Fill the gap
Between the trees


Soften the street
And perhaps, even me.

The yellow window squares
Are tiny pictures
Of other lives

And I wonder
If the people inside

Ever look out
At the street

And also wonder
About people like me.

Very nice Sir! I like poetry, but find theres always so much over blown flowery and squiggly imagery at work in many; while I do enjoy those even still I'm always overjoyed at pieces such as this one!

thank you! I see your tastes run into simple, basic - Can't say as I always write that way, but I have been lately :)

Love it! Beautiful imagery...I've often had the same 'wonderings'...

Love the visual I get from the idea of yellow windows being tiny pictures of other lives. Kinda reminds me of that movie "Rear Window"

Yes, loved that Hitchcock film :)

I thought it was Hitchcock but didn't want to say just in case I was wrong! ( :

You're very good @johnjgeddes! I love all your poems. ♥

so the blue shadows are projected by the windows to between the trees. is that suppose imply a mood?

The blue shadows are cast by the Moon that is implied in the title but is not directly mentioned in the poem - they suggest loneliness and sadness - the gold windows suggest life and happiness.

This poetry writing very nice..i love poetry..thanks for sharing this post..
