Silent Sunday




red quilted jacket
morning mist
French toast & sausages
forest chirps & hums
the teasing gurgle
of a midnight stream

fire hems & haws
blue-jeweled light
dancing flames





NOTE: All photos are mine with the exception of the second & third images which were taken by Juanita Smart – thank you, friend! These photographs were taken on a very wet & soggy October morning in the historic Calkins Union Cemetery located in Damascus Township near Milanville, PA.

My poem 4:56 AM was published in the Vol.2, No. 2 Halloween edition of tiny frights, a free e-zine of horror art, poetry and microfiction. To locate my poem in the scroll, do a Find on Page for “4:56 AM” or “Julie Allyn Johnson”.
Thanks for looking!
