Sunrise

Sunrise (chat)

Unable to sleep she sits in the dark
Like a guardian angel
She watches her siblings sleep
In the shadows of the night

She walks in the twilight
Roaming every room in the house
Walking among the night ghouls
In the midnight hours

As an adventurous night comes to a close
With heavy eyes, she watches
The moon move pass her window
Falling asleep before the sunrise

I'm glad you posted this Barbara!

I wouldn't change a thing, other than "breaks the night apart" instead of "break". Other than that, I think it is well written. I am glad you had fun in chat the other night. I cannot wait to read what you come up with on the other titles! Live, Laugh and Love (and don't forget to write) Tink

Fine write Barbara

Enjoyed reading it. Other than the suggestion above I made one. I watched the moon move pass my window (pass=past) other than that one I think it was wonderful! Respectfully, Rett: "Next time you think you're perfect, walk on water."

Barbara, I enjoyed this one. Although short, it packed a punch! _____________________________ To write a touching poem, you must gently stir the soul, if it brings forth tears or smiles, then the story was beautifully told. ________Janice Pearce_________
