Near Midnight

   Near Midnight

Wind is hissing in the trees
     making a sighing sound

Wind chimes tinkling merrily
     from breezes blowing round

Crescent moon is ghosting through
     gathering clouds up high

No bright stars up there to view
     pale moon in jet black sky

The birds have long stopped chirping
     the night is getting deep

It's time that I stop writing
     and get a good night's sleep.

Chris Green pointed me at your poems, so here I am reading this one. And he is right, it is beautiful! I love this, all the nature in there, beautiful imagery... Sleep well :)

This one made me smile, even though it is now 6am when I read it, I know this feeling. I loved this melodic little rhyming poem that sings to me like a lullaby. Really nice Lenna.
