I love the night, wandering in wide tranquil countryside, in the dim light of the pinhead stars, with their intricate constellations, a nocturnal symphony that helps give directions to wayward hitchhikers that roam in off course pathways. I love the night, imbibing the perfumes of the ambrosial countryside. The newly cut hay, the wayside fragrant flowers, all covered with a fine dew spreading delicate exquisite odors in country meadows. I love the night. In the open vistas, where all daily cares just fade away, like wispy steam from a far off train. A soft music can be heard behind thick hedges, but be aware, think not of the ugly resonance that go bump in the night. I love the night. The winking owls hoot in lament, grasshoppers sing in close-mouthed consent, soggy frogs give an occasional harsh croak, but birds sleep happily on lofty trees. Isn't it a wonderful place to be? Thank you, God for providing me the night.

You've shared to joys of nature at night with us in this fine poem, my friend. It was a pleasant tour, thanks for guiding us through the night. The night is a time for rest and relaxation, a time to sleep and recharge for another blessed day. Smiles ~ Blessings Bill

There is a slight Halloween flavor in your poem, Victor. Grateful for the night I am as well "but be aware, think not of the ugly resonance that go bump in the night" whimsy. We are privileged. Crickets were stirring the night before, a sound so rare to me, and I was truly grateful! Blessings to you

What a lovely poem of the night. I guess we take so much for granted, spending our nights in front of the TV. whereas we should be perhaps looking at the beauty of the stars. There is a lot of imagery in your poetic lines, dearest Victor. I should really go out now and smell the sweet jasmine. Love and Hugs

Magnificent poem, Victor. You've beautifully captured much of what is seen, heard, and smiled at night. I agree...it's a lovely, calm, relaxing part of the day. We live in a semi-rural area and have countryside behind our house. I love the smell of freshly baled hay and enjoy the sounds of the crickets, frog, etc. Your poem spoke to me! enjoy your evening and upcoming nighttime. :-) Sara

Victor, you truly captured the essence of the night in your poem, evoking a world of romance and inspiration. Your vivid descriptions painted a picture so clear that one could almost feel the soft breeze and hear the gentle rustle of leaves. The imagery you employed throughout was nothing short of magnificent, transporting the reader into a realm of beauty and enchantment. The repetition of a particular line only served to intensify the splendor of your words, adding an extra layer of allure to the overall composition.

Lovely imagery, Victor -- indeed, I agree. Most of my writing done during the quieted night; the night a notebook of inspiration, opened with a starry twinkle. Blessings.
