child of the night
she speaks
her wisdom imbibed
by the sorrows
shed in a whisper
by we, the children
of the still morning
In acceptance of the Perfect Poet Award given by the Thursday Poets Rally, Week 49. My humble thanks for the nomination, and I’d like to reciprocate by nominating Citra Sasmita at Journey to Eternity for Week 50.

Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
good one again Leo..!!!
Thank you, Yamini 🙂

I like how you see the owl, the wisdom filled from and with our sorrows. Even I like to just whisper it out into the night. Nice one.
Yes, Suja. Even I like to listen to the night, and also share my sorrow to the night sky. 🙂 Glad you liked the poem.

Thanks Rameshji 🙂 I’m glad you liked it, and felt the award deserved.
Yes, I do realize that, and will come read the haikus soon. The days are more hectic at work now, and the evenings go with either posting, replying to comments, or just resting.
