On the cool, white concrete
in my backyard.
There is near silence,
for no cars pass by my street
at this time of night.

9:10 PM

The only sounds I hear are
the of pool pump's steady humming
and the cricket's soft music.
Glazing at the sky,
It looks like a dried red rose
against the white moon.
That hangs half full casting its light
onto the sleeping world below.

Contentedly, I listen to
The cool water lap
against the side of my pool.
Never changing in its rhythm.

Stars sprinkle the sky
making the night,
a precious gem
to keep in my memory
Forever. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 210 [topic] => 27 [informant] => Oriana [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 12 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => NaturePoetry )

Night Time

Sitting outside
On the cool, white concrete
in my backyard.
There is near silence,
for no cars pass by my street
at this time of night.

the of pool pump's steady humming
and the cricket's soft music.
Glazing at the sky,
It looks like a dried red rose

Contentedly, I listen to
The cool water lap
against the side of my pool.
Never changing in its rhythm.

Stars sprinkle the sky
making the night,
a precious gem
to keep in my memory
Forever.

I like this poem a lot. Sometimes the most beautiful things are also the most simple. I love the night. You used really good description.
