Masked Bandit-Critter Tanka


he comes in moonlight
prowling the neighborhood
looking for dinner
stopping by to check the cat's bowl
watching me through the window

We have plenty of nocturnal raccoons in New Jersey. They often knock down the trash cans in my backyard. You have described them well in just five lines.

Good descriptions. I once raised two raccoons and they were terrors prowling around the house.

Those silly racoons..I heard that they are a nuisance..Enjoyed your work..If for a contest, reads like a winner to me..Thanks for stopping by..I saw that wreck's pictures on the internet and that was just awful for all involved and their families and friends..Sad that such things happen..Sara

ahhhh, I LIKES this. I think those little raccoons are so cute. (gosh am I losing my mind, the word is underlined in red and I can't think of any other way to spell that animal's name)
