Night Time Rush

Night Time Rush

A Poem by Leigh

 

 



A teardrop of Moon sits low over valleys of shadow

And above a standing army of dandelion clocks too

And when the purple night breeze rises high

A million floating time seeds fill the twilight air

 



Precariously drifting to some hopeful meadow

Some are carried up to the foothills of Star mountain

And some are swept low to drown in dark waters

While the bulk silently fly in the middle air

 



Those that are not prey to nightbirds on the wing

Manage to touchdown like a parachutist landing

Onto the soft, wet and fertile soil

In the desperate journey of the night time rush

Such delicate brushstrokes in this beautiful "word painting". I like many things about this, but most I was drawn to the imagery and the "feel" that the words evoked. I felt a delicate tenderness in this write, even through the sense of slight foreboding. Well done.

An extraordinary poem with imaginative and original subject matter. Great imagery too! Also, you should probably get rid of the "to" on the second to last line. :)
