Mubarika Sami Poet Verse

Nightfall

The graceful pine stood proud and tall
A huge silhouette by nightfall

Nearby the Indians' canoes moved swiftly through the streams
While the children slept and rode wild ponies in their dreams

The stars lit the silent shadowed plains
Pierced by shrill whistles of passing trains

Susan Ashley March 14, 2018 at 7:56 PM I love the atmospheric quality your imagery gives to this beautifully expressed poem, Mubarika. Your imagery also tempts and teases the senses, especially as your last two lines add a layer of intrigue, as well, to your superb verse. Warmest wishes. ~Susan Mubarika Sami March 14, 2018 at 9:11 PM Thank you so much for your comments, Susan. I wrote this poem when I was 17 but made a few changes today, many years later!
