Night Crawler Shadows The smell of spring drizzled new A whisper past April eve New soil uncovered itself Where the spires of rake moved the day Vibrations sent messenger to roots Calling forth the multitudes of drillers Their toils of the night shift, gave break Quietly they made way to supper Calling over their shoulders to the one behind Garden grit hung segments in definition And delight filled me, a new familiar I had missed them, without provocation Or distinction, yet without them, there is no spring The sky struck a chord in thunder, lighting the way Yet they…remained enchanted in the moonlight And I…remained at ease as they did Copyright Kkh 4/3/06 |

"The smell of spring drizzled new A whisper past April eve New soil uncovered itself Where the spires of rake moved the day" Spring has sprung! What a great write. I can almost smell the mulch. No, I can smell the mulch. I don’t know how those worms can stand to live in that stuff. JL  |

Very different subject matter for you, T.D. I LIKED! Of course, I like all your poetry! Yes, these little guys are so important, but rarely have I read about them in poetry. Neat! miscellanea |
