***a Beautiful Night''*** Poem by Adebayo Smartfingers

As the sun bade a gloomy farewell to the land
The lumber moon came out with its luminescence
The noisy birds retired to their nest & the musical crickets formed their band
Darkness shone her eyes ubiquitously
& the breeze gave the air its effervescence
Arms around waists; love-drunk couples stroll along the courtyard
Envy came over me, i felt awfully bad
With the twinkling of an eye, the sky sparkled a vivid light
Then it rumbled deafeningly thus distorting the stillness of the night
The heavens began to cry heavily, the air went chillingly cold
Loneliness overcame me in ways unspeakable and untold
O'er the balcony with a rusty lamp i sat writing this boring poem halfheartedly
Then, there came my estranged lover, looking more beautiful & 'deadly
drenched from head to toe
That marked the end of my woe****
