Poem
Creeping, crawling the time is calling, night has come and the dark is falling. Slinking, slithering the twilight moves, as the squirming creatures hit their grooves. Beneath the leaves the beetles advance, while the worms break free to join the dance. Their bodies swaying to and fro, in cadence with the lightning bugs' glow. Every creature big and small, begins to stir 'neath the yellow ball. Singing songs their date approves, they woo there mate in microgrooves. Tiny spiders take the chance, in hopes their lovers crave romance. But deep inside they all know, soon they'll be dining with their widowed beau. The insects carouse through the sleeping flowers, they won't wake, it's after hours. Dizzy Lizzies stretch and yawn, curling petals, they await the dawn. Tiny feet tickle their leaves, as nits traverse their tendril weaves. Only the Fly Traps join the rant, to make a meal of a passing ant. The tall grass sways like lofty towers, as mantises use their magical powers. They hide on the stalks of the sprawling lawn, in wait for creatures to prey upon. Petals glow white in their final reprieve, to be quickly replaced by new Crinum leaves. As creatures retreat and the dawn wakes the plants, The Spider Lily waits, the night to supplant.
