I had forgotten how noisy the night can be when the wind is still dusk falls on wild turkey calls red foxes and coyotes yapping cricket chirps undisturbed town dogs barking somebody's TV's blaring voices a way up the road I had forgotten how noisy the night can be LGR(C)3/26/12 |

Beautiful noises to sleep to... When I was a wee-lad and staying at my granddads farm I would go out in the fields at night and lay down on the ground and listen to the night creatures; one time I fell asleep, drove my granddad crazy until he found me, poor guy... Loved your poem!! JL ![]() Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. Maranatha! |

Lori All of those noises are proof that life exists, and goes on, day and night. You have mixed the workings of nature, with the sounds of civilization.. a perfect mix if the civilization part is not overdone.. This poem brought me back to my youth, when I would listen for pheasents crowing just at sunset. Thank you for it. "Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance." |

Spring has sprung...do you think there will be a late snow? How are the 'squitos out your way? I've been nibbled times 7 in just a day... ![]() ![]() |

This is peaceful and yet so full of life, I feel inspired, dear Lori. (except by the sound of approaching mosquitos!) Too early they have appeared this year I find! Most beautiful work. Love, margherita |
