Natures Night Matinee

Tonight shines bright, moonlight beam
Wildlife shadows move between
Hunters and hunted hide in silence
Manoeuvre their skill, their instinct as guidance

A squawk, a squeal, a wildlife kill
A tum now full, a fresh night meal
Rustle of leaves, a silent wait
Wind echos the sound of a creaking gate

The hoot of an owl, screech of a fox
Insects living in a rotting old box
Rabbits out dining, their little ones in tow
Bats ariel acrobatics swoop high and low

Natures night matinee draws an end
Their beds and safety they will depend
The moon slowly dims her light
Respite for another survival fight.

You captured the excitement of the night. It made me think of times when A group of us would go looking for land crabs in bushes, at night, with our flashlights. We could hear the sounds of small creatures rustling through the leaves and night owls hooting. You stirred up some good memories in me.

The night holds many secrets that only the moon knows as the hunters and the hunted remain hidden in the shadows. A nicely penned piece, Emilia, I enjoyed the read. Hugs, John

I agree with Tom (comment below) the poetry is spot on. You have created a gem here, by taking the reader into the night as well.
