A Midnight Serenade

In some melodious plot Of beechen green, and shadows numberless, 
Singest of summer in full-throated ease. -  John Keats  

As the deep darkness starts to spread over the verdant vale,
     The nightingale ruffles its female feathers, attracting the male.
Preparing her stupendous serenade that enchants all divine.
     Two lovers pause their kisses to listen to the bird’s haunting line.

Dearest Victor,your poem beautifully captures the enchanting transition from day to night, weaving nature’s elegance with romantic allure. The imagery of the nightingale’s serenade halting lovers in their embrace is both captivating and poetic...Hugs

Ahhh!! So romantic. I can remember years ago when I would say in summer, the whip-poor-will is back. Our nightly serenader for the summer and usually would greet us in the morning as well. Thanks for sharing this nice poem with us. Reads like a good contender for the contest. Sara K
