Dreams of Once a Night.

Missing image
Tell me nothing
of the morning glow,
of tear drop glints
in ice cold snow.

Tell me delights
of balmy breeze,
of shell like sounds
and clear blue seas.

Tell me of laughter
sweet and strong,
of castles floating
in the wide beyond.

Tell me a story
of sheer delight,
to hide fears and shadows
from a child at night.

I'll tell you words
that hold you safe,
in tender lines,
for a lonely waif.

I'll promise all
if you give a smile,
as the sandman drifts
into tired young eyes.

    wow... it is very nice. I thought you wouldn't follow through after the first paragraph but you did and it is a lovely poem. The rhyming scheme is advanced and lovely. The end paragraph did not follow in quality of the rest of the poem. If you read it to yourself, it does not quite flow solidly. However, the rest of the poem is an A. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing it.

    Some vividly evocative imagery going on here and I liked the way you use repetition to open each stanza. This really creates a softly gentle mood and tone, appropriate form and diction throughout.Very mellow indeed. thanks for sharing.

    A lullaby, I wish I'd have thought of that. I was thinking nursery rhyme. Whatever, it's great, and great to hear from you Ms Pie (Thank you)

    Such a sweet and soothing lullaby, just beautifully soft. Love, C

  • This is so lovely and heartfelt. It has a certain honesty and simple beauty to it that I felt as though someone was getting ready to tell me a bedtime story.
    Wonderful job.
