Poetry

For a while the autumn sun
hovered like a fire ball
in the night sky
and the last
of summer’s heat
was still here.
 
Like leaves on a huge tree
the stars appeared on by one
filling the night sky
 
and amber lights started to glow
 in the street and the evening’s serenity
unfolded like a big blanket
spreading out with the night.
 
Crickets started to shriek
and frogs started croaking
and a bright yellow moon
lit up the sky
and this night
there is only you and I
and its wonderful to be together.
