Twilight Constanza

Twilight comes with the crescent moon As street lights flicker in the dusk The night's approach is rather brusk Stars will begin to twinkle soon And the sound of a distant train Makes a noisy yet sad refrain A roll of thunder rattles spoons Lightening rips across the sky The sound of rain is heard nearby As barn owls hoot and crickets croon Bedtime stories are being told As children listen brave and bold The night lights up as fireflies swoon While nature sings her lullaby Sweet slumber calls and dreams reply ~ Twilight comes with the crescent moon Stars will begin to twinkle soon A roll of thunder rattles spoons As barn owls hoot and crickets croon The night lights up as fireflies swoon

Joseph, Congratulations on your placement in Andrea’s “Can you Constanza? Contest.” There were so many really amazing entries we had a very difficult time deciding. We had to go by who followed the form best, and whose poem was most creative. I spent 4 and half hours going over the poems and Andrea, a lot longer. Thank you so much for your wonderful entry Mahalo, Connie I loved this and the way you ended it.
