Midnight Moon

Midnight moon

watching over

the grave yard,

as a lonely racoon

searches for a late night

snack.

Sad to think of the racoon being the only living thing in the grave yard. Good write. Anne

James, this could maybe be haiku or tanka if you played with the lines a bit. It has that "feel" to it. Great atmosphere poem.
