Connie Marcum Wong Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Night-Light

Whisper to me winsome 
      wind of night...
Romance me with your 
      guile of pale moonlight.
Let me hear the 
      ocean's melody
Singing softly to 
      set my spirit free.
Night blooming Jasmine 
      scent the humid air...
Serenely, I'll enjoy night 
      without a care.
Oh night with stars aglow, 
      this feeling you instill,
Such ambience to free 
      my heart, my will...
To uncloak the stringent 
      shadows of the day...
I surrender; let any sad 
      emotions steal away.

Tom Arnone August 8, 2016 at 11:23 PM I would recite that to any sleep-ready child (or adult). Nice bedtime rhyme. :-)

Joseph P. DiMino August 7, 2016 at 1:13 PM Truly beautiful writing, Connie; love the imagery. Love the art is well! Is this a painting of yours? They go perfectly together. Thank you for sharing. Connie Marcum Wong August 7, 2016 at 6:05 PM No, I wish. God Bless Google. I can usually find just the picture I want from them. I write my poem first then search for an image to fit it and I usually get lucky. Thank you Joe. ; )

Paul Callus June 13, 2016 at 10:38 AM Like your previous poem 'waves', this one also relates to the ocean song. You present such a lovely picture...wind, sea, stars, moon; ideal to transmit overpowering emotions. I like "To uncloak the stringent shadows of the day..." gl in the contest, Connie...and have a lovely week! // paul Connie Marcum Wong June 13, 2016 at 3:09 PM Thank you very much Paul. I went through a dry spell, but I think my muse is back. Nights here are only about ten degrees cooler and they are lovely so we can swim at night if so inclined. Cheers, Connie ; )
