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

Imagery and personification make this a poem worthy of praise, Afolabi. Night is very inspiring. // paul
