Oh Nightingale Poem by Cecil (cj) Krieger

Oh nightingale
Sing a song for me
A song filled
With a joyous sorrow
As only you can sing

Oh nightingale
I have built a perch for you
Carved of a soft red cedar
To make it easy to hold
And polished it
To a bright shine
So it will be smooth to touch

Oh nightingale
Please choose your notes
Very carefully
So I might fall asleep
Under the big Harvest moon
Please
Sing softly

Oh nightingale
Your song is a clever trap
As I cannot resist its beauty
Each note
Is more beautifullife
Than the one before
Until without warning
I am trapped by the song
Of such a simple creature
