Flower Basket


Flower Basket 

by Robert Neest


It was an early evening at the pond, 

That had the water surface calm and smooth 

Reflecting next to clouds and parts of sky 

The vase-shaped trees that were surrounding it. 


Next to the alley getting to its side 

There was an yellow basket left apart 

With narrow base and wider to the top 

And full of flowers that had different heights. 


Three yellow roses were next to the top 

Above few pink and reddish dahlias 

That stood apart from daisies that were short 

And filled with white and yellow all around. 


Above there was a lower branch of tree 

That was completely covered with green leaves 

And white and rounded flowers spread along 

Were making it look like a solemn arch.

Waiting

Waiting  by Robert Neest A tall and wooden window’s open wide  And lets the early summer sunshine slip  Inside the dimly lit and narrow room  And draw few feeble shadows on the walls.  Beside the window stands a girl and looks  Towards a very distant place, away  From where she stays with shoulders brought in front  While arms are tightly held around her waist.  She wears a lively coloured graceful dress  With stylish shoes that are her favourite pair  And light shines on her nicely done hair  To make her look so beautiful and young.  With trembling hands she reads again the message,  As she has done since she received the news,  When several tears are falling from her eyes  And then are slowly rolling down her face.

The Last Judge

The Last Judge by Robert Neest A strong and righteous man was living once Defeating all his foes on every time And everywhere he met them, fought and won, As many as they were, they always lost. The villains tried in many different ways Without succeeding to upset the man Until they paid a woman to find out The secret of the power that he had. She was a cunning and nice looking girl That after few attempts discovered how To make him lose his strength and let them take The honest man as their prisoner. They took him bound to their distant land And gathered all to celebrate the win While giving him the chance he didn’t miss To slay more than he ever did before.

Isolation

Isolation  by Robert Neest Few heavy clouds are covering the sky  Above the lonely white house with brown door  Where at the window an old lady sits  And stares outside with gloomy sorry eyes.  Next to the house a couple stands and looks  Towards the door with their little child.  It is the lady’s son, his wife along  With their daughter that are visiting.  The family is staying in the street,  They cannot go inside the woman’s house  And she cannot go out to meet her son.  Pandemic rules are strict and they are harsh.  The little girl is waving towards her,  She’s happy when she sees her granny, that  Is hiding several tears with a big smile  And yearns to hold her in her arms once more.
