Notes About The Poem

It Tingles

A plethora of lights pierce the dark,
as a nightingale’s rhapsodic tune
drowns out a dogs evanescent bark,
neath the talisman of a full moon.

Radiant moonbeams dance on water
gliding sapphire and indigo waves,
as night absorbs black like a blotter
and the bats begin to leave their caves.

A chrysalis holds a butterfly
safe within its idyllic cocoon,
and crystalline dewdrops liquefy,
in the heat of a mid summer's June.

Such a night’s filled with felicity,
Nature proudly exposes Her heart
and like dulcet electricity,
it tingles, knowing you play a part.


The challenge from Silent One was to write a rhyming poem using all ten of the following words: 
plethora, evanescent, felicity, rhapsodic, idyllic, dulcet, chrysalis, radiant, sapphire, and talisman.
