Night Sets Free

train sounds as cool breezes rush,
tree leaves sway lighty and touch,
light outside the window burns,
cricket chirps, then another's turn,
sit inside a mellow room,
stuck by walls filled by gloom,
extend out to feel wet grass,
night has come at last.

Lakey!!! You're back!!! ^________^
Beautiful piece! I love the way you incorporate everyday things to set a certain type of mood within your poems. I could picture this so clearly in my mind, you did a wonderful job on the imagery of sounds.
Hopefully, I will see more from you, because I miss your poetry...*hugs*
Until your next post!

This one was cool.  It reminded me of life back in BC, where I used to live near a train track.  It was always neat when the trains would roar by at night and you could see the silohettes of the trees in perfect detail in the light from the train.

Love is like learning to play the piano. First you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play by your heart.

Lakewalker! You're back! That was so great!! Different from the ones you *used* to post! Great just the same though!

If you define cowardice as running away, tripping and screaming at the first sign of danger, then yes, Mister Brave Man, I guess I am a coward.

LAKEY!!!!

Yay! Alright, now this piece. Pretty good except when I read it through a few times, it seemed like the last line was out just a little bit. Then again I could be wrong but it's just how it read.  
Anyway, killer imagery. Short but sweet.
Post more often you.

The poem had wonderful flow and was well written, but I think the last line might have needed an extra syllable or two to fully finish off with a nice flow to it. Other than that I felt the poem hit home quite nicely. Always good to see you posting Lake...
