How can you not sense the feelings of loneliness here?
Anyone who has experienced such a night with a full moon lighting a winter landscape would appreciate this poem. Thank you for the chance to reminisce.
indeed! I am a diurnal person but I still love the long winter nights of the north even if I don't live quite so far up there that my daylight disappears, although some days in December it seems that the sun never pierces through the clouds...
Then, it's night again,
and the moon succeeds
where the sun couldn't shine.
brrrr if you wanted to make us cold, you succeeded! nice
thanks for playing
the first line made me feel a little jumbled, did you intend this I wonder.
no thermo
First, "night's" popped into my head. Perchance I fear the punctuation police too much! Then I got that intransitive "nights moon"... and found a strange but pleasant meaning there.
Finally, I came to believe that single, or plural... "mooning", or not... that it all worked.
I still read it one more time... and got "knights".
