Phyllis Babcock Poet Free verse

Animal Symphony

Large red harvest moon
hangs over the prairie fields
swathing in neat orderly rows
reflect from the moon's bright glow
dust hangs heavily in the air
as harvest season has begun
deer gather for a bountiful yield
while moose call into the night
with the howling coyote cry
while the crickets harmonize
with the croaking frogs song
the full moon has a symphony
of wild animal song.

Andrea Dietrich August 28, 2012 at 9:34 PM I think you caught every single animal with this one. I think it is one cool symphony. Thanks for reading so many of my poems today. I have been here such a long time I am finally going to get off. I read what you said about your shoulder. I so relate and I hope you feel better. My body does not react to cortisone. Does yours? you lucky lady then.
