Sidney Beck Poet Imagism

Windy Night

WINDY    NIGHT



The storm-running  moon dips  in and out of sight
How the wind howls over the rooftops tonight
Whistling through  the keyholes a treble yarn
And shaking the timbers  of the barn 
The windows  rattle and chatter in frightened  code
Lest their panes be  shattered under the load
The cat hides closer to me  in the armchair
Peering out the window at the branches bare
Stripped of leaves and groping jagged to the sky
Fing’ring the moon as she rushes by
