Nightingale

with delight out of the shadow night a low sweet melody comes drifting a minstrel and singer with a chant soul-stirring a siren of the dark, chirping and twittering soul-searching, fathomless lovely tale beautiful and so frail nightingale ______________________________ August 24, 2012 Poetry/Rhyme/nightingale Copyright Protected, ID 08-415-818-24 All Rights Reserved, 2012, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest Night Melody, Trois-par-Huit Sponsor, Nette Onclaud, Judged 08/28/2012 Fourth Place
