Nights..

I love the nights
I love the darkness
I love the silence
And also the stillness

I love the coolness
Of night and of the moon
I love the relief
From the scorching noon

I love the yellow lamps
I love the trees they lit
I love the trees they hide
The trees tall and big

I love the twinkling stars
I love sky black and blue
I love the music
I love the dew

I love to stroll
I love to think
I love to watch the fan
Without a blink

I hear the insects
From the world unknown
I love to stroll
I love being alone

Only one thing that I could understand: You are in love (with everything).

Ankit said...

Well not with everything. These are some of the reason for which I have loved the nights at some or the other times.

good start. Nice to see you enter into this domain. I feel that there are certain parts which look like "Forced" - just there to match the rhyme... otherwise good theme...and good description overall..

Ankit said...

Thanks for the encouragement..
Well, intially the poem which I wrote didn't contain some of the lines. And it was looking incomplete.. So I did add few lines.. I wont exactly call them forced.. They were non-spontaneous unlike the other lines.

Wonderful pieces for the first timer. So, you finally did it(I suppose it is your first poem).

Ankit said...

Thanks yaar... Yeah, its my first poem(finally :))..

Finally Kala gets praise :D. Don't worry Kala it was not a worthless piece like I write sometimes and Vatsheel so gladly criticizes me for them but try not to force words to rhyme. In fact, rhyme is not essential to a poem but it does add to its beauty.

"Early attempts to define poetry, such as Aristotle's Poetics, focused on the uses of speech in rhetoric, drama, song and comedy. Later attempts concentrated on features such as repetition, verse form and rhyme, and emphasized the aesthetics which distinguish poetry from prose. From the mid-20th century, poetry has sometimes been more loosely defined as a fundamental creative act using language." - Quoted from Wiki

Just to make it clear what I mean. Pardon me if it confuses you more. :D
