Night Poems

Above on a branch

the wise owl danced,

wearing a necklace

of wind and leaves.

In the dark, owls dance, stars shine blue, full moons illuminate disappointed lovers or pawmarks in the snow. Written in the silence and solitude of the night, Night Poems is a collection of free-verse poems for young, old, and everyone in between. Universal themes such as the turning of the seasons, the daily round, love, nostalgia, and even death all have their moment in the candlelight.

The night sky

is full of silver stars.

A soft breeze

caresses the leaves

that shimmer

in the moonlight.

The scent of the lilac

fills my mind

and I recall

how

once upon

a time

I

loved

you

so

much!
