Detailed Setting By Alex B.

Turning me around by one arm,
He moved a broad flat hand
Along the front vista,
Including in its sweep a sunken Italian garden,
A half acre of deep,
Pungent roses,
And a snub-nosed motor-boat
That bumped the tide offshore.

Slenderly,
Languidly,
Their hands set lightly on their hips,
The two young women preceded us out onto a rosy-colored porch,
Open toward the sunset,
Where four candles flickered on the table in the diminished wind.

Chapter 1

  1. Too many poems. The imagery really paints a picture in my mind of an italian garden, although I didn't picture it like the posted picture.

    1. @ Well I did two poems because they both explain detail pretty well, and the garden can be perceived by everyone differently.
