    NIGHT

    NIGHT
    Crickets chirping in the fields
    Birds silent
    This is night.

    Airplanes blinking their way through the black sky
    Passengers departing
    This is night.

    Trucks rumbling on the distant highway
    Taking cargoes to their destinations
    This is night.

    Factories stilled
    Signs with no one to see them
    This is night.

    OR WAR

    Very interesting concept, on Night. Good word pictures.

    I wrote this one in the 60s to see if I could write convincing anti-war poetry, even though I supported our involvement in VietNam.

    Poetry is what is lost in translation.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
