What Hovers in the Air Tonight

Tonight, no visions dance before thine eyes Tonight, dark clouds obscure the starlit sky Tonight, the gentle breeze hath packed it in Tonight, a wall of heat assaults the skin Tonight, no lovers linger by the lake Tonight, no children laugh or roller skate Tonight, a strange feeling hovers in the air Tonight, even non-believers say a prayer

your poem sounds ominous and foreboding. Your words were definitely engaging. A masterpiece, enjoy your evening, Sara

I don't know about 'masterpiece,' but I'll take it... Thank you... I reread this and think about the night before the Ides of March in 'Julius Caesar.'
