A Winter Night in November.

A Winter Night in November.

A Poem by Marie

The wind whistles an eerie tune
as the trees shiver beneath the moon.

Luna shines her pale silver light
to accompany the weary through the night.

The road is bare of travellers on foot,
the air is silent and all is mute.

Long shadows are cast on a deserted street,
absent the patter of human feet.

A little dog barks and supresses a quiver,
things unknown give him a shiver.

Rain falls as the dark sky sobs
as humans rest from their daily jobs.

Still the wind howls as he sings his tune.
Dark clouds now cover the silver moon.

The world is resting as if all were dead,
sound asleep in a warm, cosy bed.

Your poem captures a moment of stillness in the world, highlighting both the beauty and eeriness of a quiet night.

Imagery used is so good, a very lovely poem. The wind is described as "howling" and "singing," and the sky is said to "sobs," giving these elements human-like qualities that enhance the emotional tone.
The alliteration used "little dog barks" and "patter of human feet" creates a musical quality. NICELY DONE.
Thanks for sharing.

Rain and darkness can bring many tales alive with many things absence around, we could notice of other things clearly... the last line seems like the world cleansing the things what we do all day long... a wonderful write gives us a feeling the chillness in cozy findings.. :)

You painted a poetic november day. The cold is chilly but your poem brings warmth in the winter coziness.
With the muteness in air and tunes of the rain you describes the weather so beautifully. Enjoyed your poem Marie, it sure sets our imagination to pass the cold dark periods with rich drama of your words.

I have always enjoyed how much different even the sounds are when winter finally gets her claws in. Enjoyably rhymed writing here. ~Jim

Thank you for kindly reading and for your most kind review, Jim...
Winter seems to have come early in this offering. The couplets describe scenes more Like January than November. The streets are deserted, the wind howls, the people are in their warm beds. These things may be symbolic of something, but I rather think they're just describing an unseasonable night in Ireland.
