In the Dead of Night, For Anacreontic Verse 2 Contest

In the dead of night The sun is hiding Replacing blue skies Black silhouette Blank canvas Starry night Tiny white sparkles Twinkling brightly Surrounded by space Flicker on and off The time is now dawn Sun rises Glorious yellow A round ball Shimmering heat felt Flowers greet A world of beauty We destroy every day Bit by bit Why I do not know Close your eyes Listen to nature What is it saying? The birds sing Both to us And each other A robin red breast Sits by my window Singing just for me January 3, 2016
