Before the day turns into night - NFC

Before the day turns into night Bullfrogs quietly rehearse their “harrumphs” Dragonflies draw slowly closer to shore Mosquitoes hone their epees Bats line the runway awaiting take off In the lengthening shadows an owl rolls its neck As field mice roll the dice A lone muskrat leaves no wake The marshlands chorus warms up

Had to look up 'NFC.' Appropriate, I see. ~ AFC football fan

Gershon, I believe that Patrick Mahomes hones his skills watching tapes of the old AFC.....throwing the ball 30-40 times a game....Perhaps the N/A should be changed to NFC.....you figure it out

A wonderful poem, my friend. Filled with imagery. The marshland chorus warms up and is ready for the evening concert.
