NIGHT CREATURES Natural The sky is rich with a purple glow Skylarks and Linnets dart to and fro Trees and bushes stand out proud Black silhouettes 'gainst drifting cloud Not a sound is heard, all is still I see the moon rise from behind a hill It cast its light upon silvered trees 'Beings' scuttle 'mongst fallen leaves A tawny owl looks down from on high Surveys tiny creatures with beady eye Suddenly! It swoops, with scarcely a sound Towards a fieldmouse, its heart apound Mouse scampers on, no time to pause Owl flies along, with outstretched claws The tiny prey to a tree stump takes flight The predator, is unlucky this night ***** DREAMS In My View Dreams are made of many things Dreams come to us in sleep Dreams belong to lovers Dreams are ours to keep Dreams are for little children Dreams are for grown ups too Dreams are for all God's creatures Dreams are for me and you Dreams are made of yesterday Dreams belong to today Dreams are made for tomorrow Dream them whilst you may ***** BLUE In My View Blue is the dancing Bluebells Nestling under a tree The sky and the white edged water Of a warm Caribbean sea One of the colours of the spectrum Which arches in the skies The dark blue of the ocean Or light blue, of someone's eyes The delicate blue of Wedgewood Of a vase, a cup or bowl Blues music is a mixture Of Rock'n Roll and Soul If that's the extent of my 'blues' I'll be happy, carefree and whole *****
I like all three of your poems. They are each a different style but they are each very good. My particular favourite is your Blue poem.
