Black-Contradictions

Quiet darkest hour, just before dawn
Alive with tree frogs singing, just for fun

Sashaying ways of sexy sways
Silent steps of saddest days

Screeching crow perched in a tree
Cries of eagles flying free

Dark days come, but soon are gone..
in the..
Quiet darkest hour, just before dawn

Oh, the magic of the night, and you captured it beautifully. I love the stillness of the night especially in winter. This poem reminds me why you are on my favorite poets list.

I would love to see a painting of this write, especially painted by you! Why? Because I can see and visualize everything within this poem as it is, I would love to see exactly what it was that you saw while "painting" your poem! I can hear the darkness, the color black is expressed perfectly within your piece! I really enjoyed reading this illustrious poem this evening! Great Work!!

That's a nice compliment Russell...thanks...I've often thought it strange how some of my best black dresses are fitting for both dressing up and funerals....

I enjoyed seeing your contrasts of the color black, donna. Quiet seems mostly quiet in your poem, from the last couplet you showed us!!
