Paulette Calasibetta Poet Verse

Performers of the Night

Performers of the Night


                                 A journey around the centric Sun,
                                   dawning light until day is done.

                           A hooting owl swooping on nested prey,
                                       a harmony of crickets,
                                       flickering, firefly lamps.

                            The Moon views with a watchful eye,
                                a confident sentry of the night
                                revolving, eastward in the sky;
                                leading with illuminating light.

                                   the star studded dome
                                   a symphony of planets ~
                                    synchronized rhythm

                                       ~~~~~~~~
