Theme for Week 9 of Lyrical Sunday: Night

Posted on February 21, 2011February 21, 2011 by BritMumInNZ

The theme for Lyrical Sunday this week is ‘Night‘. Charlotte was inspired by a poem she read in ‘School Journal‘ (Part 1. Number 2. 2009).

Lyrical Sunday

Here’s the poem that has inspired this week’s theme. Can’t wait to read what you come up with! Come and link up on Sunday 27 February.

Have You Ever?

Have you ever
crept out at night
when the moon is full
and huge and bright?

When your lawn is
an endless silver sea,
and the shrubs dark
shadows of mystery?

Have you ever
slipped out at night
to a moonshine world
of black and white?

Alan Bagnall
