Karen Jones Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Written July 20 2026 for Through Aesthetica Contest sponsor Nette Oncloud

Midnight in Velvet

Moonlight trickles soft light
Pouring from Milky Way 
Illuminating gold silent night
Save for fireflies dancing away
Honeysuckle breeze enticing
Blue butterfly sleeps in red rose
Vision of brown owl exciting 
Hunting with razor sharp toes

Kim Rodrigues July 21, 2026 at 9:35 AM Ooh, such wonderful imagery! I’ve been sitting out on the deck in the morning and evening (loving the fireflies and thinking how can someone not believe in God…a bug that lights up…seriously or even comically created!) Big hugs!
