Twilight

The blackbirds alight at their sleeping site
as bushes ignite with fireflies’ light
that dance, flashing bright, in their courtship rite.
The bats rise in flight with sound as their sight.
The full moon swims white through velvety night.
I watch with delight and settle to write.

Great write Agnes, you have the ability to try a more difficult rhyme, try not to repeat words eg white 2x light 4x and you will place higher, thanks so much for the entry!

Thank you, John. I can't believe I didn't edit out the first "white"; that was meant to be "bright" and I never fixed it in the posted version. My apology. I know I should not repeat! Will do better next time.

I am changing it now, anyway, because it bugs me.

Thanks, Andrea. I don't know about contests; a number of poems that I was pretty sure should do well did not place at all... so I'm not holding my breath.
