Somnolent

Hello Lavender. Good poem. I like how the sun walks, the enjambment creating "open the silence" and the shadows comforting the walls. You might consider "settling" instead of "it settles", a little ambivalence.  

Love the imagery in this one, L! 

and the last thing
I faintly regard is the dust 
dancing in the sunlight
before it settles onto
the warm hardwood floor

Beautiful!

this one. Love the scene from the perspective of all things; a cat! Yeah, I had an orange tabby named Wanda that had a habit of lying in the sun where I was writing or drawing and when I moved something that caused dust to fall, she would look as though she were considering if it was worth the effort to move. Anyway, nicely done. ~ Geez.

always my pleasure to make comments and critique your work. ~ Geez.

I really liked this one as it sets the scene for a sleepy afternoon.  Great imagery. Instantl  I could imagine this as a series of seasons, next with a winter one in front of the fireplace and so on,  Regards Ray
