The Creepiest of Creepy Nights

It was the creepiest of the creepiest spookiest night.  The moon illuminated the woods with an ominous leering glow.  Deer was nervous, expecting the worst dangers of dangers.  She coughed an uncomfortable warning to her fawn, who knew to stay close.  There were not lions in Kansas, and yet, she sensed a mountain lion or a wolf, something evil that could take her child.  This 
feeling of terror lasted for hours; she could not sleep.  The pond was silent except for the croak of one lone frog. Where had the other frogs gone? Had they been taken?  It was the creepiest of creepiest nights.

			       ‘twas a creepy night
                    deer coughed warning to her fawn
                                  terrified frog croak

Kurt Ravidas November 14, 2019 at 1:53 AM A snapshot of the night nature. Clear and precise. A very Japanese. Caren Krutsinger November 14, 2019 at 6:25 AM I love the night and the feelings she gives me.

M. L. Kiser November 13, 2019 at 5:47 PM You pen that moment of apprehension and foreboding quite well. Caren Krutsinger November 13, 2019 at 11:58 PM I am still rather in the Halloween mood for some weird reason.

Kim Rodrigues November 13, 2019 at 9:27 AM Freaky, scary and humorous! We often sense danger where none is and yet could be! You just never never know. Hugs-a-million, dear poet! Love ya! Caren Krutsinger November 13, 2019 at 11:58 PM Thank you my friend. I am so glad you stopped by!

Arturo Michael November 13, 2019 at 9:03 AM What brave little creatures...frogs are no fools...that one is probably deaf... Caren Krutsinger November 13, 2019 at 11:58 PM Or has no psychic insight at all.

Richard Lamoureux November 13, 2019 at 8:00 AM Definitely sounds creepy. I hope things were different when daylight arrived. Caren Krutsinger November 13, 2019 at 11:58 PM Naturally I did not say how great the next day was, Richard, wanting to keep people stirred up.
