GOOD NIGHT

Fierce winds blow.
The wind chime sings loudly.
Leaves chatter on the trees
and I huddle 
in my warm blankets
listening to this night speak.

    Have you ever had nights when you couldn't sleep and you listened to all the sounds in the silent house?  Did you hear the clock ticking, a water faucet dripping, the heater click on? Could you hear someone snoring, or your dog wheezing?  Do you have a loud purring cat? Perhaps you heard crickets chirping.  Most houses make some creaking noises as the bones expand or contract.  Can you write your own poem today about what your house sounds like at night?
