Night Tales Poem by Tony Adah

Night Tales



Darkness fell from the sky
And injured our moonshine
Stars unable to twinkle;
Our play a sudden end
We looked left and right
East and west
The moon crumbled in the sky
And no where to be found
We groped into our hut where
Grandma sat ready with tales.
Our ancestors' empire was near
And sleep tricked us in
Grandma sat alone
And it rained
Until the morning after.

What an interesting childhood memory! Your imagery about how the sky transitioned to total darkness was superb. I wanted to hear more from Grandma! Lovely poem.
