Notes About The Poem

An example of what I am looking for 

Night Bewitches

The Night beguiles and bewitches me 
as shadow deepen and lengthen
The moon shyly peeps out at me
then bursts out in splendid stateliness.

Now clouds drift across its beaming face
causing shadows to change their shape
I see first a unicorn dancing in the night
Followed by a trio of old haggard witches.

The night sure belong to unworldly things
goblins, elves, pixies hobnob in its darkness
and shadows leap and dance in moonlight
rays of gold, silver and blood deep reds.

Soon. too soon the night will give way
and all the secrets hidden by darkness
will slip away and leave me wondering
were they  ever displayed in the darkness?
