Sisters 'Night' and 'Dawn' (An Experimental Sonnet) <br /> <br />Nocturnal feathered-fliers homeward bound, <br />Furl their wings, their haunts having refound. <br />They then their message hoot unto the sky: <br />“The time for Night to sleep is drawing nigh”. <br />Blown out, soon, the astral candles are; <br />Extinguished lies the lunar superstar. <br />The Sky, then, upon her lap does keep <br />Her daughter Night whom she rocks to sleep. <br /> <br />The cocks, now astir, begin to crow: <br />“It’s time, O Sky, for Dawn to herself show”. <br />The blanket black by mother Sky removed, <br />Appears Dawn, with choicest charm imbued! <br />Ruddy cheeks and lips and auburn hair, <br />Blue eyes, pearly smiles -Oh! let me stare!<br /><br />Dr. Tulsi Hanumanthu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sisters-night-and-dawn/
