My poem "The Quietness In The Middle Of The Night 3" is about how one quiet night the silence was disturbed by a loud roaring sports car engine that annoyingly kept going around the block disturbing everyone's peaceful nights sleep....

 "THE QUIETNESS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT 3"

 

 

It was another quiet night

It was a sleepers delight

In the distance a sound became noisier

As it kept getting closer and closer

The sound was very annoying

Waking up those who were sleeping

The loud sports car kept running

Around the block several times

The driver set off loud chimes

What was this crazy driver doing

What was it the driver was seeking

After three trips around the block

The driver took off up the next block

Didn't return for another round

Everyone again could sleep sound

This incident actually did happen in my neighborhood and I seriously wondered what was it he was trying to get into, which I think would not be good....I also seriously thought about dialing the 911 number, but held off because I wanted to see just what he was going to do next....

The guy was around again just the other night....It really makes me wonder what's going on....

The most disturbing sound for my sleep was my neighbor's wind chimes outside my bedroom window. She refused to remove them. Now they are gone by some invisible hand.

The driver of that sports car had some other motive other than wake up everybody, but he did it nonetheless.

My experience like this has been cars that go "bump" in the night with speakers that are guaranteed to blow the eardrums of the occupants of the car. Motorcycles with their high-pitched, almost muffler-less sound. The kind of annoying that reaches down to the tips of your toes. The garbage pickup at five in the morning every day in the apartment complex behind the house. As the truck revs its engine to move to the next dumpster and then the clanging of the dumpster door as it bangs against the truck. Can be mistaken for thunder. Finally, sirens running around the neighborhood waking everybody up and flashing red and blue lights coming through the windows and bouncing off the walls. Something guaranteed to make you get up, pull your pants on and see who died this time.
