Notes About The Poem

Yes, I live very close to a store, and yes, I went shopping tonight and got inspired for this poem. No this is not the scene of the parking lot near my house. I have no idea where this is.

Night Vibes

Night Vibes


The vibes are a little different at night.
The crowds hang now on artificial light.
Satire set the stage on drama that is near,
an argument between two humans smear.

The vibes are a little different at night,
songs of frogs croaking heard on the right.
The night birds lift there voices and sing
it is a bit different than what the day birds bring.

The vibes are are a little different at night.
The stars and the moon, not the sun provide light.
All the lights from atop a store parking lot glow,
but there are less shoppers in the store, it's slow.

The vibes are a little different at night,
but for many we are tucked in our bed tight.
When a stroke of morning pink brushes the sky
the vibes at night wave bye-bye!

Inspiration at a moments notice are often prompted by the moments that pass. Sometimes I think it best to get a pencil fast.

- "The vibes are a little different at night" ... the sounds seem different when it's dark - I live in a place without traffic, neon lights or shops ... far out in the countryside ... only hearing the sounds of nature's nocturnal secrets ... a lovely poem, Miranda :) - hugs

I live in an interesting spot in the suburbs. As I look out the sliding door from my living room I see a nice quiet pond. Geese love swimming in it often, sometimes ducks. Then on the other side where I park my car, I see the truck docks of a shopping center I frequent.

Miranda. I really like a poem like this one. Easy to get and so nice how you use a repeating line. Like a kyrielle in reverse!

I have to try to write a kyrielle, because I see it sometimes as a contest, and I would imagine that if I wanted to enter a contest with a specific kind of poem as a rule, that first I must learn how to write that specific kind of a poem.

I prefer shopping late in the evening, it's so much quicker without having to stand in a queue.

It is much quicker that is for real. 6AM is also much quicker, only unless I am on my way to work, that time never happens.

I like the smoothness of this. It really speaks to the chill vibe and the details of the night you can take in, which normally are missed during the day. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing, Miranda.
