Timothy Mcguire Poet Free verse

Under the Full Moon

Daylight fades
As the pond jumps to life

Under the full moon
The call of the loon
Frogs croaking
Crickets chirping
Busy buzz of the dragonfly
Snake on the hunt
Slithering
Stalking
Flick of the tongue

Under the full moon
The yipping of the coyotes
Raccoon washes
The crayfish he snags
Bass jump
Catfish roll
Blue Heron fishes
In the lily pads

Under the full moon
Up for a fresh look
Turtle takes a breath
All are hungry
Battle royal
Hunt
Hide
Run
All night long
Until when
The sun returns again
