Whispers transformed

Poem: Whispers transformed

 

 

Whispers resonate in the night...
Homage paid to the old trite
Giggles occasionally, and stamping feet
Exaggeration in full competition...

Acting out the notorious repetition

Chatter and gossip- the night stood still...
Not even a break for a unified thrill
Blab, whine and scandal...

No end in sight, except daybreak perhaps...
Yeah, oh yes...
Wow, someone said- 'goodnight'!

An engine started, and suddenly there was one less

Then, the goodbyes became contagious
A deafening silence followed
The night was free!

 

The sounds and songs became alive...
The natural creatures subscribed
Whispers transformed...
The night's welcomely reformed
