Phyllis Babcock Poet Personification

Beyond Midnight

The moonlight cast pure magic
Among summer's greenery
Floral scents filled the warm humid air
Soft petals caressed the evening breeze
Crystalline dew drops gathered on the grass
 Shimmering like millions of diamonds
Silver threads wove through the shadowed canopy
 Stars twinkled upon the heavens
The aurora's danced in sweet refrain
To the melody of earth's orb
Morning would soon salute a new day.

Gene Bourne September 11, 2014 at 9:18 PM I love the lanquid, openness you've composed with this poem. I know I could feel the dew on the grass, were I to pause in the moonlight and run my hand over it. Softly realistic and visually striking descriptive phrasing, all leading to a very pleasing finale. Very well done, Phyl...Your friend and fan...Gene
