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 ©Donna Jones 12-4-2013

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!!
