Nightlife

As the moon wafts a brilliant smile
Stars wink in reaction for miles
Gently night tucks in

Darkness settles in with silence
Nocturnal beings residence
Till sunrise ascends

Nice lunar mood you paint here Debbie, you are brave to attempt these forms; I just stick to the usual and that seems a challenge! :)

Natural meter, that's my game. With never a line that is the same. I've never been one for dictation. Some think I have a lazy reputation. But I enjoy the fruits of your labor. I just don't know how to wield that saber.
