Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Alive At Night

coyotes howl
desert comes alive at night
I shiver

rats shaking tin cans
junkyard comes alive at night
I cringe

wild zombies dance
graveyard comes alive at night
I turn tail

screaming bobcats
woods come alive at night
I run like mad

Bill Baker May 16, 2022 at 4:08 PM I can see where you're going with this poem, Caren. There's a lot of scary stuff out there. :-) Thanks for sharing, Bill Caren Krutsinger May 17, 2022 at 2:10 AM There surely is! Especially if you cannot see it, but you can hear it and it seems closer now.

Ilene Bauer May 16, 2022 at 1:58 PM this is a very cool poem, caren! i like the way you've arranged it very much... Caren Krutsinger May 17, 2022 at 2:10 AM Thank you Ilene; it just happened.

Andrea Dietrich May 16, 2022 at 9:56 AM i think you be a bit of a scaredy cat? haha This is really cute, Caren. Caren Krutsinger May 16, 2022 at 12:08 PM I sure can

L Milton Hankins May 16, 2022 at 8:32 AM Oh, how I agree that sounds in the night can be terrifying. I also cringe when I hear a bird slam into my picture window. I wonder, what were they thinking! Caren Krutsinger May 16, 2022 at 12:09 PM They do that to my windows also!
