Quiet of the Night Leaves

The displayed of the moon With half pale eye Is as a person closed one eye Delightful breeze makes The leaves to waft Miming with their tiny branches Fingers,left and right Back and front As the crows lure the night To fell with their sonorous vent Is as a grouped of people carring out Acrobatic foxtrot The quiet of the night Leaves giving thanks to orb of the night For brighten the night

"The leaves, miming with their tiny branches." The Moon winks like a person in this one. I love, that. You bring the non human to life so imaginatively. Love, daver
