Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Night and Day

Stars punctuate dark skies at night
our moon is such a wondrous sight
its luminescence gives a guiding light
to hunting owls as they take flight.
Gold stars twinkle much to our delight,
they provide us with a scintillating display;
our moon is such a wondrous sight
it glows until night turns into day.

I rouse from sleep, and then stifle a yawn
as sunrays herald the break of dawn
I open the drapes and espy on the lawn
a lovely roe deer and her little fawn;
they catch me watching, then are gone!
Our bedroom takes on a golden glow
as sunrays herald the break of dawn
through the window of our bungalow

I cherish every day that I wake in the morning

Maurice Rigoler November 22, 2017 at 7:46 PM Now that I'm old and gray, how I cherish mornings more than I ever did when young. For then it meant getting up and going to work. I don't work now of course, but remaining in bed is a waste of valuable time. So I'm up often just as the old sun is rising from his, a wonderful sight! Congratulations on your win. (See my last say on the turkey for this year.) / M Jan Allison November 25, 2017 at 7:34 AM As long as I wake in the morning its a brilliant day Maurice:-0 hugs jan xx
