SteemitPoetryContest #15 Long Night
Night Time
Night or night time, is the period of time after sunset and before sunrise, when the Sun is below the horizon. America's Northernmost city Barrow Alaska, is located only 1,300 miles South of the North Pole. Due to its Northern location its one of the few cities in the world to experience a "polar night". Barrow has darkness for 60 consecutive days each year. That means it's night for 1,440 hours straight.
Long Night
~
The light was bright but has since passed,
now stars above twinkle, some shoot by fast.
Large and white, the moon sits high,
black and blue hues fill the sky,
Out come fireflies, bats, and even a bandicoot,
mice and rabbits run, an owl gives a hoot.
Nocturnal is the name,
survival is the game.
Whats here today maybe gone tomorrow,
except for the wind that blows through Chicago.
They say when darkness comes just wait, soon light will follow,
well lets just say those 'they' have never been to Barrow.
