The Lady With The Lullaby

by manisha

Published September 5, 2012

In Poems go here.

The earth has gone  around
the night has swayed by
somewhere the sun shines
blind to our eyes. The hills
seem to rise higher in
the dark, casting upon us
its unseen shadows. The river
continues to flow by, unable
to stop its black waters rustling
in the soundless night.
 
Even before our heads touched
The ground her melody flowed
through the night. The lady who
sang her lullaby. Her sereneness
seem to blanket the night, her
music honey to ears. The world
seem to rock us in its cradle
caressing us with its love. It
was a angel’s voice the sang
as she sung her lullaby.
 
Her song read the whole world
the meaning of life.
her name was Night.
She made the wind to a singing
breeze, the rustling leaves her harp.
the owl our guardian
the bat her warrior,
she sings all night until she takes
a deep breath and the darkness
disappears in a streak of light.
 
But she will return every night
singing her lullaby.

Wow, this was quite good, I enjoyed reading it!
You have a very nice writing style, you have an amazing imagination to write like this.
I really liked how you ended the poem with,

"Her song read the whole world
the meaning of life.
her name was Night.
She made the wind to a singing
breeze, the rustling leaves her harp.
the owl our guardian
the bat her warrior,
she sings all night until she takes
a deep breath and the darkness
disappears in a streak of light.

But she will return every night
singing her lullaby."

It was just so good, and a great way to wrap the poem up.
There were a few typos, but, who doesn't have them occasionally!

But, you did an amazing job! And good luck with your further poems!

I think it's very nice that we never really see what's coming next.

At first I thought this was a story about, like, a ghost or something!

And then, of cores, an angel (but not a real one. More like a guardian angel helping the person telling the story.)

And then I found out it was all personification (some form of it, anyway)

You did a pretty good job!! :)

Hey,
This is a very good poem filled with lots of imagery and description, there are quite a few typos so if you go back through and re-read it you should be able to pick them out, also some punctuation errors too.
Ok firstly I found the flow a little awkward, at times it was great like

its unseen shadows. The river
continues to flow by, unable
to stop its black waters rustling
in the soundless night.

Here it was great but in other places not so good. A lot of this had to do with the punctuation, meaning if you fixed them it would help the flow and make the read easier.

I like the storyline and where it went, it was magical and mysterious at the same time.
I'm really not sure what else to comment on, again just read through and fix up the mistakes.
