What awesome talent resides in your pen! ! ! Your words weave magic and all of a sudden your readers are there beside you in that night, that hot humid night, restless, feeling the threatening sounds in the dark beyond us...of mice captured by owl's claws... of darting bats and the sudden scream of mating cats if that was what those screams in the night really were... Your poem makes me breathless! ! ! 10 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Most of the summer nights at Karachi are like this, loke kok yee has a nice observation and ability to convert his observations in a wonderful poem.

A captivating poem. I enjoy the night and usually stay up until at least 5 A.M. but when the night is hot, humid and still, it is not the best of nights. :)
