The Beauty of the Night

by Katy   Feb 24, 2008


The cool wind blows through the trees
Letting a haunting whistle travel the land
The leaves tremble and shake on their branches
The looming sky eerily dark with night

Smaller than thought, the moon stands alone
No stars in sight to keep it company
Just the velvet black sky to adorn
While keeping watch on the still earth

The air is crisp with the smell of rain
And creatures silently scurry about the shadows
Looking for their food or their shelter
As the sun emerges the beauty of the night fades.

    "Smaller than thought, the moon stands alone
    No stars in sight to keep it company" that was favorite line but I loved the whole thing from beginning to end. Good job! 5/5

    You are the unseen observer, but I think the poem would be even better if the observer herself is seen somehow.
    The scenery is vivid, but how are you changed?
