“Evening”
A Poemlet by Alice B. Clagett
At the Third Street Promenade
13 June 2005

The palm trees wave the day goodbye
. . . as evening combs their hair
And roses croon a lullaby
. . . to sleepy courtyard air.

. . . . .

In love, light and joy,
I Am of the Stars

CALIFORNIA EVERLASTING
A Poem by Alice B. Clagett
May 2005

I do so love the light – but still –
this dappled, elfin land
cools summer’s wrath
and few dare venture here.

One day these guardian sprites
may wax more cruel – but now –
my heart dreams
one more day
and one more patch of sun.
