As shifting shadows merge within the night,
darkness devours disheveled silhouettes.
And daylight disappears, fading from sight,
as a splendiferous sun slowly sets.
Twilight's crimson-colored clouds coalesce,
tinting the skies a cotton candy pink.
And yet, darkness descends nevertheless,
tattooing treetops with ebony ink.
Sequined stars sparkle in the midnight sky,
glittering gems in the fabric of space.
And today toasts tomorrow with a sigh,
as a motley moon mirrors Sol's far face.
Moonbeams mold monsters mostly out of black,
sculpting scary shapes with chisels of light.
And female mosquitoes mount their attack
as buzzing, bloodthirsty biters alight.
Silence shushes sounds, stirring in the day
as night's nocturnal creatures start to wake.
And stridulating crickets chirp away,
tweeting till dawn dawns and dreamers awake.
(Alliteration-Quatrain)
