The sound of gaiety and laughter come in from the street
The dog softly growls and the cat is in
The moon is full and the stars shine against the darkening sky
The sound of gaiety and laughter come in from the street
My home is in darkness and the animals are quiet
The moon is full and the stars shine against the darkening sky
I step into the street and join the throng
My home is in darkness and the animals are quiet
Coats and scarves thrown on keep us warm
I step into the street and join the throng
The night reaches out to encompass me as we walk
Coats and scarves thrown on keep us warm
I need to return to my home -time stands still
The night reaches out to encompass me as we walk
I feel panic rising in my chest
I need to return to my home - time stands still
The dog softly growls and the cat is in
I feel panic rising in my chest
All’s well! - I stand ready at the door

I enjoyed your story Ann, it reminded me of your little dog Winnie and how good she was, I think she was a true folkie, loved the music! I guess you are still hankering after another one
Yes I very much am x
I think the above comments belong on the post below. This is a comment about the pantoum which I found very evocative and atmospheric.
