Night Poems

Above on a branch
the wise owl danced,
wearing a necklace
of wind and leaves.

In the dark, owls dance, stars shine blue, full moons illuminate disappointed lovers or pawmarks in the snow. Written in the silence and solitude of the night, Night Poems is a collection of free-verse poems for young, old, and everyone in between. Universal themes such as the turning of the seasons, the daily round, love, nostalgia, and even death all have their moment in the candlelight.

The night sky
is full of silver stars.
A soft breeze
caresses the leaves
that shimmer
in the moonlight.
The scent of the lilac
fills my mind
and I recall
how
once upon
a time
I
loved
you
so
much!
