Poetry--By Gert W. Knop--Germany

From a beech tree
a rustling of the leaves
storm approaches fast
________

The song of a lark 
very slowly fading 
after a summer rain
_________

Quiet afternoon
teardrops fall silently
from memories
_________

Cold drizzle
falling from low clouds
in a restless night

Lively vole
yesterday at the roadside
escape under leaves
_________

Gert W. Knop was born in 1943, studied arts and tropical agriculture and is now living in Zittau, Germany. He writes poetry and short stories in German, English and Spanish.

  2. Gert,

    What a lovely set of poems. I like them all, especially that third one. For me, I must admit, it is hard not to shed tears on a "quiet afternoon." Well done. Continued blessings!

    Beautiful interview. Continued blessings to you both!
