Child in the NIght by dovemarie
Children's Rhyming Poem writing prompt entry

Child in the night,
Flitting around, with no one in sight.

Quiet as a mouse,
All over the sleeping house.

Squeak! The door creaks,
Through the crack, a child peeks.

Tip-toe! Light casts a shadow
An angelic moon shines through the window.

Glittering keys of a piano,
Too late! That's a "no-no!"

Then softly, mother's hand
Leads you gently back to dreamland.


Writing Prompt
Write a poem for a child.

Author Notes
I was inspired to write this poem when I worked with children.
