Ann Peck Poet Dizain

Night

Twilight descends as shadows fall
     and slip into a dark'ning night.
A hidden nightbird's wistful call,
     as stars burst forth in silver light
     and moon arrives in frost-spun white.
Blossoms, drowsy, bend silken heads.
Birds nestle in their feathered beds
     Night's whispered music gently spills
o'er purpled hills and silence spreads
     As night surrenders song...and stills.

Gordon Mcconnell March 1, 2022 at 1:22 PM Great pen Ann, I've never heard of Dizain before but it looks really nice and effective. Ann Peck March 1, 2022 at 2:15 PM I didn't know Dizain either, Gordon. I entered a contest that called for it, and now it has become my favorite. Thank you for commenting :)

Anne E Sangster - K February 27, 2022 at 6:11 AM Oh Ann, This is so lovely. As I read your night poem, it took me right there with the tranquil sights and the nightbirds wistful call. I absolutely loved it! Cheers my friend :-) Ann Peck March 4, 2022 at 9:08 PM Thank you so much for your lovely words, Anne. I love a summer's night, so peaceful. Take care, my friend :)

Gershon Wolf February 26, 2022 at 8:12 PM You seem especially tuned in to the changing heavens -- dawn, night. How about twilight next?! Superb poesy, methinks. Thanks, Gershon Ann Peck February 26, 2022 at 9:43 PM I know ~ weird, huh :)Maybe I'll come back to earth and write about a dust storm or something. Thanks for commenting, Gershon :)

L Milton Hankins February 25, 2022 at 11:56 AM Gorgeous writing, Ann, with rich, relatable images. I loved your dizain, and I know how difficult they are to compose! Ann Peck February 26, 2022 at 9:09 AM Thank you, Milton for your kind comments. Dizain has actually become my favorite form, at least so far. I'm still learning :)
