Night Tunes

night sings quietly
a song virtually heard

the whoosh of clouds
rushing through a spooky spot of darkness
dew squishing out of the cool thin air
the clippity clop of a running bug

hushed, lush tones of private wonder
vibrate a sympathetic cerebral harp
and I am adjoined in the symphony

rhapsodizing till dawn

Word choices like whoosh, spooky, squishing, clippity clop create a child-like air at first.

Then the rest is rich, deep verse, very adult. It's not a transition it's a dichotomy and it works well.

I rhapsodise with you. A gem of a piece. No crits, sorry.

‘the whoosh of clouds
rushing through a spooky spot of darkness ‘
- awesome

just a couple of things
a song virtually heard’ – it’s not really virtual is it, as it is literally heard
maybe
‘a subliminal song heard’ (and maybe even lose 'heard'?)
'night sings quietly
a subliminal song '

‘and I am adjoined in the symphony’ – ‘adjoined’ wrong word I think
‘and I am joined in the symphony’
‘and I float within the symphony’

love the idea of
‘rhapsodizing till dawn’

wonderful word usage al
I enjoyed this
love judy
