Listen close

A nightime poem

 

Listen Close

 

 

Precious is the nighttime sky

With stars now shining down

A wispy wind does flow the trees

With but a hint of sound

 

Listen close and you will hear

As nighttime dreams come true

The whispers of the springtime wind

Are saying I love you

Quite a precious piece, Jack. Very succinct, and romantic. May I suggest 'A wispy wind flows through the trees' might read a little better. But hey, it's your party - lol.

[Jack...]

Thank you sir.

[Frieda P]

Short and sweetly gorgeous poetry here Jack, just lovely as always, even in your minimalist approach.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much my friend.

Nice write my friend I am having problems with WC at work to pardon any errors For a minimalist or brvity poet this speaks volumes!

[Jack...]

Thanks so much my friend. Sorry I missed you Friday night, a massive thunderstorm took out the power to my house for a time. Next week.

[J Todd Underhill]

It's alright brother; this is something fun, and on occasion life presents challenges. I am looking forward to Friday

Oh, this is one contest i could never win! I am much too wordy. lol You have created something beautifully concise. I like the imagery of the nighttime sky and stars, I use these ideas quite a lot. The nature in this piece just oozes with beauty. The ending...great. Well done, my friend.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much Sarah. I always appreciate your kind words to me. Short really isn't my forte either but, hey, I figured I would give it a shot.
