Sonnet - Day and Night

"Ya seen the cost of electricity?"

The sparkling shadows sequined in the day

The grainy ghosts zip and zoom in the night

Dawn explodes, and warming hues gush my way

The dark drapes like poison, dreams transport fright

The mowers drone under a watchful jay

The moonlight wanes, creates withering blight

The high sun forms nature’s church, so I pray

The giant stars yield no real candlelight

I know you can’t have one without others

If there’s a choice, I have my druthers

It’s not so much that at night I can’t see

Ya seen the cost of electricity?

Romantic verse, oft penned by midnight moon

When love is on the docket, yep, I’ll swoon

But gotta see what you look like at noon!
