NIGHTIMES' TENDER SIGH

NIGHTIME'S TENDER SIGH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
nighttime's tender sigh, a whispered hush.
the world is bathed in silvery lunar blush.

the stars up high, reflecting moonbeams.
nighttime's tender sigh, a moonlight dream. 

fireflies dance without a care.
the scent of blooming flowers fills the air.

a celestial ballet delights.
nighttime's tender sigh takes flight.

Your diction is tranquil and appealing, similar to a pleasant music set against the backdrop of the moonlight, dear Sara. I could almost see fireflies and felt the stillness that arose with nightfall.

Such a dreamy and delicate piece, Sara. Your phrasing—“nighttime’s tender sigh”—is soothing and evocative, like a lullaby wrapped in moonlight. I could almost see the fireflies and feel the hush of evening. Beautifully done!

This is beautifully smooth and enchanting, a truly lovely poem to inhale. Your periods are not consistently placed (pardon me, 35 yrs as an exec assistant did things to me) and I'd want someone to tell me. I really, most sincerely, love this poem. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
