Dark Emperor & Other Poems of the Night


Joyce Sidman - 2010
    Welcome to the night, where mice stir and furry moths flutter. Where snails spiral into shells as orb spiders circle in silk.

Come out to the cool, night wood, and buzz and hoot and howl—but do beware of the great horned owl—for it’s wild and it’s windy way out in the woods!
