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

A snapshot of the night nature. Clear and precise. A very Japanese.

You pen that moment of apprehension and foreboding quite well.

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!

Naturally I did not say how great the next day was, Richard, wanting to keep people stirred up.
