Midnight Play Poem by Vijay Sai R
Midnight Play
Eerie silence everywhere
As my clock strikes its gong
Twelve sweet chimes
Haunts my living room
Surrounds the entire space
Waking me up slightly
Looking somewhat frightened
I got up from my bed
Chilly weather outside
I peek through my glass window
Sparkling silver dots in a black curtain
Back to bed again
I begin to ponder
What made me to wake up
In this wee hour of midnight
A faint flip
A hissing hustle
A rattling whistle
Spines chilling
I gazed at the corner
Where it all emerged
Still the same pattern
A hustle, a whistle, a rattle
Gathering courage, I followed the rhythm
All I could find
A sleeping pill!
A dancing aluminum foil!
Enough to give me a sleepless night!
he he nice man...real nice...i liked the humour at the end and the word usage...way to go buddy
Ha ha. I'm sorry for your sleepless nights, just having one right now actually :) My cat would not stop 'meowing' so I had to put her in the laundry room. Now I can't sleep! Excellent poetry though Vijay! .... Marina Gasbey...
Yes! Some noises do irritate and give sleepless nights. Viz Calendars scratching the walls, under the fan. I would getup, pull it and throw it. But still the pages would flip and make some noise.I would put some weight and proceed to sleep, only to find a sleepless night. Nice Poem.
Well written, I could see the picture in my head. Amazing piece
A silence captured- existential ocean deep with portent - Iiked this a lot
Wow! loved it. You got me thinking what that was. Great picture created.......... I thought what it would be.... A dancing aluminum foil! ... Well Written.
So true, how the midnight hour is so full of fear due to childhood stories. Reminds me of my poem, 'Phobia'. A wonderful write, well penned.
