Night of the Owl

Winds cry
Shiny slimies 
I see you
A fuzz fringe fizzing 
Across peek-a-boo moon
Croo croo night 
I love you too

Heart thumps with the 
Crickety crickets on the
Brown fence pickets
Pounds with the sounds 
Of warm, neighborly chatter
Dishes clatter

Here we go
A B-22 coming' in 
Out of the black
I am gorgeous
Cry the winds

Thanks for the opportunity, it was my pleasure. I love writing from an animal's perspective, I'm a sucker for that stuff. Thus my new contest I started from the viewpoint of barnyard animals-check it out! In fact, this contest may have inspired mine. And thanks for your placement!
