Go outside at night and look
Up. You will be dazzled
By the canopy of
Magnificent stars. The
Constellations wink
At you saying, “Hi, how
are you?”
Tag: night
The Sound
When lying in bed at night
In the dark and you are
Having trouble sleeping
A random noise comes
From somewhere in
The bedroom. Nothing
To be afraid of, but
Could it be aliens?
Foundered
A homeless man liked to eat
Fried frog legs, because they
Tasted like chicken. And one
Day he ate so many that he
Became foundered on them,
Never wanting to eat frog
Legs again.
The Man in the Moon
One night the earth and moon
Were having a talk. The earth
Asked the moon why he looked
So surprised. The moon replied,
If you saw what I saw you would
Be surprised too!
Soulful Eyes
My wife and I were driving
Down the highway one night
And picked up in the headlights
A figure of a little girl. My wife
Got out of the car and walked
Her to our car. She was
Shivering and said she was
Lost and that her name was
Hanna. She had the most
Strikingly soulful eyes.
Nightmare
I had a frightening nightmare
Last night that a black helicopter
Hovered over my house and men
In black rappelled down to the
Ground and disappeared.
Hold Up
One night I was walking
Down a dark street. A
Masked man held me
Up at gunpoint. I
Turned my pockets
Inside out to show I
Didn’t have anything.
And he stole my pants.
Jogging in a Blizzard
A jogger who has jogged long
Enough won’t miss a day come
Hell or high water. Today we
Were having a blizzard. The
Snow was falling rapidly.
I decided to take up the
Challenge. After putting on
Double layers of sweat pants
And sweat shirts, a head
Covering and gloves, I stepped
Out of my toasty house.
There was no traffic that night,
So I jogged down the middle
Of the street, snow crunching
With each step.
White soft flakes filled the air,
Melting after hitting my warm
Face. It was a magical winter
Wonderland.
Piano Player
It was during a piano playing
Contest that they came to
The last contestant to play.
He was a little boy, and the
Audience snickered when he
Sat down at the piano. He
Began to play, and after a
Few minutes the audience
Was in tears, because they
Had never heard anything
As heavenly and wonderful
As what the little boy played
That night.
Hummingbirds
The hummingbird hovers over
Flowers darting in and out
Of blossoms sipping nectar,
So small and fragile. Where
They go at night is anybody’s
Guess. They cluster together
In trees for warmth, maybe.
