Q is for Quiet

Good Words Alphabetically: Q is for Quiet

 

Quiet

Quiet now the day is closing

Quieter the chipmunks’ mirth

Quieted the fox is denning

Quietness descends to earth


Quietest of all the moon

Shines quietly goodnight

It will stay on guard awake 

A quieting nightlight.

  5. Donna, your poem is unique and I love this line, Quietness descends to earth. Thanks for the peaceful poem and your interesting NPM project. If interested, I started a new padlet and later gallery for NPM. I hope you join in with one of your image poems.

    Quietness descends to earth.
    I would love for you to send a spring poem for my newest padle and gallery.
