A Moonless Summer Night In My Village (Alternate Rhyming) Poem by Jyoti Sunit Chaudhary

A Moonless Summer Night In My Village (Alternate Rhyming)

Rating: 5.0


Lights of the thousands of stars
Don't seem enough for such a night
You miss the moon badly
Who can make the night bright.

Without proper transportation
Without supply of electricity.
Life here is so different
Deprived of city-like facility.

A moonless night of summer,
Is not a piece of cake
If you're going for a hike
Don't panic if you encounter a snake.

Among the sounds of toads and cockroaches,
When One sound appears different
Do you need your Grand'ma to confirm you
'This is the sound of a serpent.'


Authour's note: The poem is about my village in north Bihar, India. This is my experimental rhyming scheme where alternate lines rhyme in each stanza.
