A Wonderful Night by Tomiwa Adeosun

 Rolling up the windows' blinds,

I shoot a gaze into the distant night,

enslaving my eyes to pulchritude;

the meek moon and the showy stars

welcomed me to join their jocund fiesta.

Rat-like creatures with leathery wings

flew slyly towards the East;

restless, big-eyed creatures

croaked from the dams while

the night resounded the crickets’ chirping,

to the delight of the glowing fireflies.

I wheeled my eyes out of the window,

into a funnel-shaped garden,

the sight of which made me gleeful

as big almond fruits shone in the silver moon.

I peeked out of my window,

on a knightly night -

Oh! What a beautiful world!

Oh! What a celestial world!
