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
