The Nightingale's Song

Before my eyes dropped their shades for the night I heard the Nightingale's sweet song drifting in His melodious voice filled my bedroom space So mournful that it brought me to tears Blissful and beautiful was his sad tune _______________________ December 18, 2012 Poetry/Verse/The Nightingale's Song Copyright Protected, ID 12-443-713-18 All Rights Reserved, 2012, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest sponsor, Rick Parise 12/12/2012 Third Place
