Dover Lights

Near Dover Arkansas can be viewed on most any night A puzzle documented as, ‘The Dover city lights‘ Folks from many miles around, some even out of town Eyes fill with wonderment when the lights begin to clown I have viewed myself, no proof of science I found From the mountain above, as interest begins abound The lights flicker in different colors, energetically They dance and prance, leap and treatment for all to see This outstanding thriller performs an impressive show In a valley below, on Long Pool waterway, well I know In the night sky are voices, with many thoughts and theory As the lights pretend ghostly pranks, their trade quite scary One popular legend has it some old miner lost his gold Lights are many who died believing, “still searching are lost souls’ To a Native Indian raid on a wagon train, some attention is laid If so the braves were plenty, for the lights are many charades My personal suspicion, it is the moon’s seduction In riffled waters below, anomaly is moon’s concoction Perhaps the campfires in Long Pool park below, give show The utter mystery glow, in Big Piney riffles below For and in Honor of Carolyn Devonshire And Contest
