Notes About The Poem

Poetic Form: Waltz Wave

Nocturnal

Night,
lunar-
lit.
The eyes
luminous,
surprise
prey.
Fearsome
hunters of
lowly creatures.
Nocturnal
dwellers
in
darkness 
encounter
nightmares
of
savage
death.

Night can be beautiful and equally scary ! You have powerfully depicted the darker and fearsome side of life. Congratulations Linda on your win.

Nightlife in nature is fierce and beautiful, as is daylife. We just don't usually see it. Thanks for visiting and commenting. :)

Great write! This is like the unwritten dark side of my poem 'Eyes of the Beholders', this is the other side of the night, and I wasn't able to get it the way I would have wanted...the eyes beholding peace in my poem was because the lovers were blind to all else, but this poem you've written, yes, this is it, the all else :)! Well done!!

Thank you BJ. I read your Eyes of the Beholdlers. Fabulous! It's like a pair of aces! And we both chose an unusual form for expressing our thoughts. Interesting. Thanks! :)
