My First Post With a Useless Bit of Poetry

  I decided that since I promised a blog with poetry I should keep my word. the question is, which poem to put down? I have so many, sappy ones, inspiring ones, ah! I know, I'll put down one of my favorites!

The Night-Time Song

When clouds darken,

Scud low across the sky,

When night-owls hearken

To the shadows that silently,

Solemnly slip and dance about;

Night-Time sings to me.

The constant frogs

Serenade me in their bass,

And crickets in their cozy logs

Fiddle sweetly to me.

The cool breeze, like dew on my lips,

Gently caresses the nearby tree

Stars begin to twinkle; dim

At first, but shining bravely on.

I sigh unbidden, at the thought of him,

But succumb to the spell

Of song, shadow, and starlight,

As night-time slowly, sweetly fell.

Personally that is one of my favorites. I had just come home from a peaceful horse ride, the sun had just set and the sky was a dark blue gray bruise color with a hint of flame and pink on the horizon leftover from the sun. All the birds and bugs were singing goodnight, and everything was so peaceful, I had just started shivering from the chill, it was just beautiful.

  Poetry is my way of saying something I don't know how to say otherwise, I'm not good at communicating my thoughts unless it is on paper, so I guess that's why I write.
