Night Poems

This poetry expresses something of the beauty and excitement---and pleasures---of the night. It's probably not a coincidence that some of these also happen to be long-time favorites of mine. And, given what often happens at night, many of them are love poems. Poetry that makes night seem a dread, undesirable, mournful, or evil time, and poems that equate nighttime with death, are not in the spirit of the night that Night People love and are not included in this collection. Acquainted With the Night by Robert Frost " I have been one acquainted with the night..." Lines Written in Dejection by William Butler Yeats "When have I last looked on the round green eyes..."
