A Night In the Backyard
As I lie down
The light glitters
Of the little yet brilliant stars
Of the cute fireflies
Trying to reach out to me
Trying to talk to me
It's a full moon
Makes me feel hungry
Is it a cracker?
Or is it a biscuit?
It brings me a smile
It's the time for the nocturnes
The frogs croaking
In a loud voice
Just like an orchestra
Crickets chirping
Rubbing their legs
Just like a violin
Bats are screaming
Sonic waves
Just like playful children
Free of worries
And as the night
Grows darker
My eyes hurt
My head is dizzy
It's time to go to bed
