Until Morning No H E a D S

Vying buck running, rutting,
Crying wolf crooning, yowling.
Prowling puppy pouncing poking.
Nipping nuzzling nibbling.

Quirky bug buzzing by,
Funny frog wooing, wowing,
Witty owl winking, primping, 
Blitzing cockcrow crowing.

Morning moon wincing winking,
Twinkling-twirling tinting 
Pink puffy fog, coloring
Glibly, gifting until morning –

Thanks, Kash. Would you mind doing a recheck, please! I can't believe how long this took and how many revisions. I posted just as I was taking my grandson to scouts. It was a challenge and a LOT of FUN...struggling, laughing, trying! LOL Thanks for commenting.
