Image
  This month's release is the second edition of 366 Days of Poetry released. Links to the collection can be found at: https://books2read.com/u/3n2Yv9 .   Can You Hear the Lullaby?   Written on July 20, 2015, for the April 2 entry of 366 Days of Poetry, this piece is about the power of a lullaby.   Can you hear the lullaby? It floats on through the night. Not born of bird or wind, or sighs, the lullaby sings from the sky. On the storm breeze, through the night, on gentle breath, the lullaby guides our sleeping though distractions fly through the long, long hours of night. It guards our sleeping from all fright, this lullaby, this song of night.

This month's release is the second edition of 366 Days of Poetry released. Links to the collection can be found at: https://books2read.com/u/3n2Yv9 .   The Nightly Battle Written on July 20, 2015, for the April 1 entry of 366 Days of Poetry , this fantasy poem is about fighting monsters from the dark.   In the city, in the night, we hear them, the quiet sounds, the secret sounds, the sly.   In the evening, in the dark, we smell them, the sewer stench, the offal scent, the sickening spark. In the caverns, deep and old, they wait for us, predators who feel the sun, no souls.   In the battle joined, we are, to the death. To the end of all that’s pure, we fight.
