Eve Smith: Night Sky

Dark blue sky
Stars above all around
Animals asleep at Night (Home with stars).


Jay Joshi: The Night Sky 1

The night sky above
Stars sparkle beauty glory
Guiding lights to lives.


Jay Joshi: Night Sky 2

The night sky is beautiful clear as the stars sparkle with beauty and glory a
and the stars are filled with hope and possibilities and the stars are our
guiding lights to success in our lives in the night sky and lie peacefully calm,
bringing an end to any day with the night sky above.


Kathleen Jackson: Night Sky

Night night night sky sky
The moon bright in the sky
The moon comes out

Rain rain rain pouring pouring pouring,
The moon, the rain and the sun comes out
And the rainbow comes

The sun comes out
The sun dries all the rain up
And the rainbow comes out.


Dawn Barber: Night Sky 1
Black, black night sky
Magical moon
Stars twinkle all the way.


Dawn Barber: Night Sky 2
Sky journey
Dark up high
For us to sing a lullaby.


Dawn Barber: Night Sky 3
Dream of a night sky
Magical, magical powers
Dream, Dream.


This is not the Endo: Night Sky Haikus

Poem 1
We worshipped the sky
Humans further than before
The moon no longer dark.

Poem 2
A moon goddess lost
To a brightening night sky
Hope, will bring her back.

Poem 3
Storm beaten tulips
Scattered petals all around
Reflecting starlight.

Poem 4
My black hole insides
Choking me in the darkness
Please, turn on a light.


Robert Punton: Night Sky 1

Not a star in the night, no light
I sit tight. scared of dark,
Waiting for the light, to safely guide me home.


Robert Punton: Night Sky 2

Not a light in the sky, not a sound to be heard
No creature stirred, nothing there to cast a shadow,
Silenced filled the space, leaving every place feeling spooky,
Shout up boy it is the middle of the night,
Some of us are trying to get some shut eye here
You are not scaring anyone, just annoying me.


Robert Punton: Night Sky 3

Moon shining down from on high
Reminds us we should be at one with nature
Not raping from the land, robbing from the sea.


Robert Punton: Night Sky 4

Night stars come out after dark
They must be a shy lot timid around us
As they only appear when we are sleeping.


Zillah Bridget Bosworth-Coleman: Night Sky

1

You came back
And folded
Into me
Night Sky
The endless winter
Narnia
Or a  Redacted
So dreadful
That cannot be named
Dusk and I leave
the Range Rover
Surrounded by Redacted
All lost
Hundreds of rooms
Only a few people
I could not Redacted

2

My stiletto – or boot
Covered in thick black grease – putrid

3

I lay on Redacted
Wondering why I kept repeating the transaction
I lay like that for hours

4

Earlier I was on the Redacted
I saw three Redacted in Redacted
Nails gripped the concrete
If the night sky wanted me.


Huma Butt: Button Moon

April Night Button Moon
April brings Magic to the night,
Night to party to go.
Going into the night sky,
Night sky only for April.
April and the night only brings,
When you find and it’s all for April,
What’s happening all would say.
Can be only April night,
Night you certainly bring a treat,
Treating will never be the same again.
When the April night brings then
Comes and comes, catch them
All will be said, said and all
Will come, come as the moon
As a chocolatey reflection, Reflection of a button moon. Button Moon you will find a way.
A way for chocolate to be
in the night sky. Full moon of chocolate, Chocolate says more then it can. Let the moon be in the night sky. Full moon Button Moon, Would only be for the chocolate. April brings chocolate, then all for the moon
To bring chocolate. Button Moon
Full in chocolate made. Made comes to be filled with chocolate.
April lets secrets spelled out of
Chocolate, chocolate only for
The Button Moon.


Huma Butt: Night Sky Poem 1

Black, it’s the night sky.
Black full of black bean sauce.
Sauces on the menu. Menu to let all night sky. Night to go out then more sauce to have. Having a pasta sauce tonight. Night sky all is full of beans. Beans come from shine of moon and stars.
Shine all is out there in the
Blackness of the dark. Dark night sky what’s to come, Come into the evening all for the dinner tonight.
Come, come it will, all hungry for the evening meal,
Out there just as night sky.
Night dark as can be. Let the night sky be dark as it likes.
All will take to black bean.
Black beans come and dinner awaits.
All for dinner then dinner dark
As can be, let the sauce come
Comes and it gets to be clack.
Black for the night sky, Black
Dark full for the dark. Dark, dark matter found. Found for dinner.
Dinner comes then let all begin.
Begin into the night sky. Justenough dinner tonight, let menu
Be for tonight as go out for the dinner.


Huma Butt: Night Sky Poem 2

Let the music play, play, play
Til night sky. It’s music tonight. Music as it brings from the distance. Distance of the night sky. Bring the night sky. Bring the music.
Music playing in all directions.
Full, full as it plays,
Playing til, play all you like,
Liking the music, music in distance
Near and far. It’s playing all it can. To find the night sky pleasant, all the music.
Music comes then as evening dies.
Dies into the music, Music follows to come back, Delight will be the evening. All for the music, Music you bring such delight. All for night sky the music follows. Follows into the night, Night springs up again.
Again then delight, delightful evening, As the night sky comes.
Come to let music in and out.
Out for the night sky. Gently does it and gentle music.
Music gently plays. It’s the gentle touch tonight. Night sky. Full of music. Gentle it takes you. Gentle to finish.
Finished music just for tonight.


Huma Butt: Night Sky Poem 3

Down in the bottom of the garden,
Down down as you can. All to go down for. For the garden.
Go down into and then night sky comes. Comes to the bottom of the garden. Garden takes you there.
Bottom of the garden you will be.
Night sky bottoms full to the garden. Gardens leading the way. Into ways in which garden takes night.
Night into action. Actions to a race. Race of the night. Race of the moon. Race full to blow.
Blows the wind, wind into a race.
Racing are all in the night sky
Cars racing along into the distance.
Distance to race along, let.s stay in the garden. Garden just a garden. Night sky just as night racing along. Racing for the day to come. Racing night sky what can be said.
Said let all race into the garden. Down into the bottom of all you see. Seeing the garden takes you racing track.
Tracks of garden to race upon,
Upon and out you go. Keepgoing all to come along. Watch
as racing cars go. Go to the garden. Night sky races along.
Garden full of promise. Promised for more.


Huma Butt: Night Sky Poem 4

Moon, moon, bright moon
Moon shine, bright night sky
Shining away now.
