Let's leave, let's leave,
in the silence of the night.
The moon is in bloom
and the bristling bats call,
let's leave, let's leave,
the night is ours once more.
I like you as an enemy, but I love you as a friend.

If we could give it ten stars, it would deserve it. Is it possible to overuse the word awesome? I'd sooooo overuse it on you!

Loves:)

Tis intresting, I don't understand, but tis is intresting. I can't really say more, the shortness works, the word choice works. It's exellently written. Still, I don't understand it.. :s. Oh well... sorry this isn't helpful.

Good luck

The lines "The moon is in bloom / and the bristling bats call" are what make this poem, simply for their sounds, but the rest of it is lacking. I didn't like "let's leave, let's leave" being repeated. I think you're lacking an ending. Or more than that, you're lacking anything past some pretty sounds -- I'm not sure what you're trying to say in this but it's not getting through to me.

My advice: expand!

Konnichiwa.

I would like to start off by saying that the repetition in this really works. I especially like how it is repeated at the beginning and at the end. That being said, I didn't like the middle very much. I do like how you basically compared the moon to a flower by using bloom, but the don't like the line:
and the bristling bats call,

I don't know why...but it seems like you're talking about the surrounding night's characteristics and then you add the bats in. Maybe the "bristling" threw me off...

Anyway, I think that you can make this longer and expand as Jack said. I think making this longer would deepen the effect and enhance the imagery of it.

Keep on writing,

Short and sweet, love. I agree with Firestarter in regards to the repetition of "let's leave," but you have great word images and even a little alliteration, which makes bird happy! ;)

I like this although I am not too sure why.

I think it is the repition that does it for me personally, plus the way you have used your words into the short poem.

I agree with everyone else though in the fact that that let's leave let's leave doesnt seem wuite right.

However it is a great poem

Keep it up!

Lol. When I saw the title "It's time" I thought it was about someone going into labour. Sorry but OMG I feel really stupid. I liked it though. :D.
Buh-Bye!

This is a really nice poem, but I do believe you could expand upon it and make it even better.

What I saw here was very creative and awesome though.
