Cricket's Song

Refrain of dreams, I gift to you. 
My hum lulls in rhythms deep;
Night chant lifts to heavenly heights
coupled with starry sky’s plume.
My faithful promise kept from sight 
'til fall of moon's sleepy eyes.


By Rhonda Johnson-Saunders, 1/15/15

So glad this placed. I don't know what number you got , just see the congrats here and have run out of time to make major comments to poems tonight. Anyway, thanks for letting me know my one poem was wrong in stanza one. I figured out what I did wrong. I somehow confused myself and used "spring" in place of "stream" in that one line where I messed up. I hope I got it right now!!

you're very welcome...you may have caught it, but I didn't want to chance you not placing over one simple mistake. Sometimes, I make a little mistake and wonder why no one tells me...thanks for the congrats...hugs, Rhonda
