Nightingale

Nondescript brown bird of renown, nightly you serenade me. Golden dulcet tones flood the woods and I am wafted far away, off into a wondrous dream world full of mystical creatures. written 01/13/2015 Contest: Night Creatures by Shadow950 5: Nightingale

Shadow, I think I saw the contest was judged, and it's too bad if this one did not make the list. I am seeing the 5th line has 7 syllables not 8. MAybe for this? The poem is very nice.
