Darkness, chirps, hoots, twinkling stars, silver moon;
Silhouette of palms, lapping waves, sea breeze;
Lovers strolling leisurely near a pontoon;
Curled figures in bed sleeping at ease;
Locked gates, patrol cars, security men, guard dogs;
Cock crow, chiming bells, bugle blow at twilight;
Dawn chorus, breakfast in bowls, plates and mugs;
Orange ball rides up the sky, turns gold and bright.
Roaring highways, ever bustling bus stops;
Laughter of carefree kids in every playground;
Women haggling and buying in the shops ...
How sluggish night walks day must come around.
As day stalks night with a dazzling beam;
So does sweet reality stalks my every dream.

WOW
I'd love to hear your take on how night stalks day and the fun in between...lol This was/is a great read. Now I'm jealous, you didn't write for me again. I could really use another one of YOUR love poems. Smoochies~ Cuddles

Hmmm... interesting piece for sure... it reads really fast... it's a busy poem!
You've written this well though... and have captured pretty much all of life in a few lines... that is to be commended! Well done on the writing of this!
Thanks for entering this contest... best wishes to you in it!

Incredible. Don't know how you could improve this any more, really. The imagery left me speechless. Best of luck to you in the contest (though you don't need it).
