When All the World Is Quiet - Its Too Early Version

When all the world is quiet And the night is fully deep, A mystic moon is watching All the places underneath. My thoughts like panthers moving through the jungle, they do creep. Among the lingering shadows lies a naked hairy beast… It’s too early to write poetry, Back to bed and welcomed sleep. 1/27/17

Such beautiful poem, showing a sleepless night. I live in a sleepless nights.... Among the lingering shadows...I'm wide awake counting sheep...

Ahoy, Phil. : ) Looks to me like those thoughts that panther-creep through the jungle do some work of their own. Cheers!

Well done, Phil! I can definitely identify with this piece! My thoughts enjoy waking me up and since I can't beat them, I join them until gratefully I fall asleep again:-)! But you show and tell much better than I ever can! A 7 for sure and good luck in the contest, my friend! Pandita
