Night and Morning
by Sadie Sheldon, Strathcona Baptist Girls Grammar School
Finalist, Years 3 – 4, written poetry
The birds tweet softly,
And the crickets chirp loudly,
And nighttime has come.
The noise stops quickly,
The whole world becomes silent,
As I shut my eyes.
The world moves on as,
I am sleeping, very still,
Quietly, calmly.
Then, a bright light shines,
As bright as a million suns,
The morning is here.
‘A comforting and reflective poem capturing the gentle transition from night to morning.’
