Night-Day

night creeps steadily
adorned in dark velvet cape…
watching as men sleep

crickets sound their shrill
bullfrogs play tuba and base…
shooting stars display

day rolls in bright-bold
night in surrender recedes…
rays of gold invade

Exquisite imagery, dear Annalise. I love the way you worked in the crickets and bullfrogs. Very enjoyable read and I'm sure it will do well in the contest. Did you get my regular email? I have been trying to call you, but the number I have for you is out of order. Hope you'll send me the right number! Best wishes for success with this lovely piece. Love, Carolyn
