Upon the glow of evening mist
Beneath the darkened sky
Whilst gazing at the moonlight pale
I heard the night birds cry
(Beware, beware, all creatures small
O see, O see, the night birds fall)
The sweetest breaths of night`s descent
Upon my senses lie
As deep within my trembling heart
I saw the night birds fly
(Wide-eyed in the darkness searching
From the branches swiftly lurching)
In the gloom, full fledged, they watch
With stealth, and oh so sly,
I sensed them shrouded in the trees -
The night birds drawing nigh
(Look out, look out, my little friends
Lest now, O now, your journey ends)
Lovely verse Val, life in the shadows is mighty and mysterious, nice one.
So nice poem.Clean imagery, and, I feel the presence of both audio-visual effect.Lovely.
I sense a dark omen in this poem. Night birds, beware, trembling heart. A powerful poem of woe! Val the queen of rhyme and limerick, this poem is shiny black like licorice! Delicious too!
I love this poem wonderful rhyme to the words, though I must agree with Cur fore boding, wonderful stuff.
Your use of assonance in language is enjoyable. Read mine - We the Unencumbered - Adeline
