Question: What do you think of 'Night's Child' poem!?
T!.V, computer off!.!.!.
Manx curled!. Waiting,
On the bed!.
Sickle Moon, satin,
Waiting!.

Robe hung, socks off,
Hair brushed!.

Stars slip sleep under
Lashes!. Gift!.
Smiling 'goodnight'!.

All in its own Time!.
Time to whisper
Goodnight to all!.

Morning will knock
Oh so gently!.!.!.
The fingerpainting of
Night's bright
Child!.
