I am 37 years of age and am currently studying toward an open degree in arts and humanities with the open university. I live in greater manchester and enjoy writing poetry when my time allows.
One night
Moonlight lights my night
Daylight lights my day
There’s always a source of light
Total darkness is not the way
The lonely wolf howls at the moon
Howling in lonely despair
Colours woven in the loom
Of Twilight colours rare
An owl hoots within the night
Before swooping upon his prey
A meal of such delight
Before the light of day
An alley cat prowls the night
And screams a dreadful sound
He readies for a fight
Balls of fur fly all around
A single bird begins to sing
As others join the song
The dawn chorus begins to ring
And fills the sky with song
A ball of light begins to shine
Bringing a brand new day
Upon the horizon line
And the future comes my way

Letters of alliteration littering my mind
Sounds of assonance go ouch upon my brow
Words go swimming upon a written line
End line rhyming: how but why not now?
Stressed out syllables stretch out across the page
Partial rhyming with no real meaning
Patterns emerge within the written word
Rules of language in poems can be bend
Rhyming couplets get there in the end
And now I hope to end this little ditty
With some words that can be witty

Hi Catherine - thank you for your kind comments upon 'Woodland Trails' - much appreciated. I see from your 'One Night' that nature is a theme you enjoy writing about as well.
Best wishes
Dave
Oh - I'm so sorry about that Catherine - he must have been young. I am glad you have been able to find love again and yes Cook does spell well - even better if he lives up to his name. I think I'm looking for a Mr Cook, Iron and Clean - I could probably add a few more but this is a public forum. Tee hee. There must be another poem in all this somewhere.. Nice to have you on WOL - I hope you enjoy.

Your comment made me howl! When I saw your profile go up I did wonder whether it was a maiden or married name. Poor you - at least mine can be spelt phonetically if you don't pronounce it correctly. Hopefully your marriage will fare better than mine - opposites attract and then repel pretty badly...
