Poem Title:
Poem
Dust descends and day is done, Darkness lays a restive spread; Evening ushers new puns, Hear the night owl in the glades. This starry nocturne reveals A cast of night time charades; Deep dark propels a strange feel, Cicadas and frogs spark trade. Outside our window a burst: Fireflies in aerial flirting; Somnolent hours spawn a thirst: Night creatures prowl dark settings. This countryside escapade Feeds trends that illuminate; Fatigue finds rest here instead Of city dwellers debate! A weekend away from home: A country cottage retreat; To seek and find yet not roam Too far from civilised streets. Time for thoughts and surge of rhymes, Feel the rhythm and the urge; Ink the wonder in fond chimes, Pen pleasant surprise and merge. Let the rustic charms echo Imagery that tells why Our modern lives seem hollow In afterglows and sad sighs. Words ooze with easy feelings, Jerky yet smooth in plain pitch; Thoughts that crowd meandering, To scratch and soothe the sore itch. Shadows dance in twilight moon, Night citizens on the prowl; Observe the bright midnight noon, Listen to the preaching owl! Soon sleepy moods must mingle With dreams that come out to play; Drowsy sensations tingle As cold night winds breeze away. Leon Enriquez 04 Mar 2014 Singapore
