Nocturnal

Night,
lunar-
lit.
The eyes
luminous,
surprise
prey.
Fearsome
hunters of
lowly creatures.
Nocturnal
dwellers
in
darkness 
encounter
nightmares
of
savage
death.

Bj Legros Kelley Date: 3/22/2023 8:41:00 PM Great write! This is like the unwritten dark side of my poem 'Eyes of the Beholders', this is the other side of the night, and I wasn't able to get it the way I would have wanted...the eyes beholding peace in my poem was because the lovers were blind to all else, but this poem you've written, yes, this is it, the all else :)! Well done!! Login to Reply Linda Alice Fowler Date: 3/23/2023 7:04:00 AM Thank you BJ. I read your Eyes of the Beholdlers. Fabulous! It's like a pair of aces! And we both chose an unusual form for expressing our thoughts. Interesting. Thanks! :)
