Anyone who has ever lived in a neighborhood with raccoons has probably heard them rumbling around in the trash at night. It makes for a lasting image.

These are so nice, Gary. The third one is not exact rhyme but it is actually my favorite for the image it creates. Congrats in my contest.

Thank you, Andrea. I realized that the third one didn't quite rhyme, but I thought the dissonance complemented the concept.

I see what you did there . . . I'm glad it entertained you. What more could I ask of six words (ok, eight with the title)?

Oooh, I like hugs! Hugs right back at ya'! One thing I really like about Poetry Soup is that I get exposed to so many different forms of poetry and, with contests like this, I get to try them out for myself.
