moon rises
like a flower floating
on sea foam
distant train
making thunder
shaking the ground like rain
whippoorwill
sings aria sounding
like the Magic Flute
night glows
bright as day
until clouds return
sky to night.
Charles, striking poem; the imagery is vivid. And in short doses, the effect is powerful. You must be good in haiku! A suggestion, instead of far train would distant train sound better?

A lovely poem, cleverly crafted with appropriate Simile which captured the essence of the poem. Beautiful indeed. Thanks for sharing. Please read my poem MANDELA - THE IMMORTAL ICON.
