Bold, devilishly handsome
I fell in love quickly
I know. Raccoons are no good for opossums
But the heart wants who the heart wants.

Wherever you look, you will see me
Blanketed in emerald, azure and amber
Clothing worthy of a king’s wardrobe

Stars glisten on the edges of dark night,
Laughing eagerly wherever they’re strewn,
Evoking stories that gentle hearts write.

Waters edge
gator lies
raccoon gets
big surprise!

In forest
something hides
bird on branch
with two

seeking spawn
searing pain
bears claw!

Plants decay
feeding ground
newborn sprouts

Flirting flappers
Whipper snappers

Prohibitions
Big restrictions

Legs are showing
pearls are Swirling

Charleston’s harking
Lovers sparking

Dancing Lindy

Afterwards hugging

Raccoon coats
Rowing boats

Bathtub gin
Fun never ends.

It brings out the good, 
and the bad,

wakes me daily, putting me in great mood.
woodland creatures with cat food in mind,
prance on my porch nightly.

Raccoon slapping each other over crackers,

A silvered cat in the moonlight walked.
Looking for some food to eat.
Unaware, he was being stalked.
Ah, then he smelled a great fishy treat!

Behind the bushes...

Not ventured into by hunter, or explorer for nigh onto thirty...
