At Night
April 14, 2015
The sun sets slowly in the east,
Noise is decreased
A sense of peace,
As soft as fleece.
The flowers close their weary eyes
A bird, it flies
Into the night,
'Til day's in sight.
And all are safe inside their beds
The stars, they spread
Across the sky
Twinkling up high.

Nice work!I like the way it flows.
This is a Minute. A Minute consists of twelve lines and sixty syllables (get it? Sixty seconds and sixty syllables?) in total, and the specific syllable scheme is 8-4-4-4. The rhyme scheme is AABBCCDDEEFF. As well, Minutes are in iambic pentameter (weak strong, weak strong, etc.), a meter common in Shakespeare's works.
