Noah's Woods

On a darkened night in a full moon's glow Alone, I walk, on a midnight stroll Along the trail, where Old Buck roams A path of footprints deep in snow An old wise owl's echoing hoots Sticker bushes, made- rabbit's homes A foxhole 'Neath a fallen tree Mouse nests built in broken roots Some evergreens sit fluff and green In this forest full of life, I see On my midnight stroll, a moonlit show So wonderful is this nature scene Through barren trees with rotted bark Where animals live or left their mark Perhaps they've come off Noah's ark I wonder, as I walk these woods of dark *Whose woods these are I think I know Lines To Awaken Your Muse Poetry Contest Sponsor: Joseph May 2/19/2020

Hello Charles … mother nature in her pristine state can never be bettered by anything artificial, so a walk like you envisaged in your poem is perfect - thank you Charles - Lindsay
