A Blanket of Night

The flowing river

alters its tune

to a small whisper

as the warm

specked lights grow bigger

They are the stars

reflecting on the water

creating a blanket of night

At first this poem was a haiku but there was more I wanted to add so I changed it from a haiku. The elements found in this poem are line breaks, imagery, metaphors. I really like this poem because of the way it creates an image in my head and the description.
