Fourteen Hours

 

in the cove inslide

tides called neap

Dusk's berry tea bag 

into sky seeps

In Eve's 

skybowl purple steeps.

Lovers hasten dates

to keep.

Night insomniacs

begin to count sheep

and then slip down into sleep.

The wind's soft lullabies

across the land sweep.

When the sky is most 

dark and deep

Daybreak begins in to creep

Before the full choir

come baby birds' peeps

And then ....dawning sun

over horizon peeps.

Hypnotically beautiful: so

Hypnotically beautiful: so much dazzling imagery flowing quickly through a delightful monorhyme. Really adored:

Also "peeps" doing double duty. So charming.
