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

I can see where you're going with this poem, Caren. There's a lot of scary stuff out there. :-) Thanks for sharing, Bill

There surely is! Especially if you cannot see it, but you can hear it and it seems closer now.

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!
