A Taste for Night

A Taste for Night


She speaks of
Stars
As if her
Tongue
Has savoured
Galaxies
And developed
A taste for
Night

    The best poems come in small packages and yours was spot-on!

    We each show our love for life and our existence by embracing one particular thing. She chose the stars and we chose writing poetry!
