Magical Mime



The moon and the stars bide their time 
Mute mimics in Mother Nature's mime
The sun shines brighter as they watch 
Hoping their light will go up a notch 
The woods look inviting, shaded and green 
Birds twitter happily behind the scene
Animals prowl about in a hunter's game 
Near the roaring river in a picturesque frame 
Weeping willow waves in weary wistfulness 
As shaggy shadows shift into shapelessness 
The sun has set, now time has arrived 
For the moon and the stars to get revived
They cast their glow on a sleepy world 
Brightening the black blanketed dreamworld

Congratulations Jo on your first place win. Love your "shaggy shadows," "black blanketed word," and the river in a "picturesque." You set the sunset scene beautifully.
