The moon is full
shadows are long
I can hear coyotes
sing a yipping song.
From a hole
in the saguaro
way up high
I hear an elf owl
with a too-weet cry.
It is getting late
I should be abed
but I am listening
to night songs instead.What sounds/songs do you hear? Can you write a poem about sounds? Have a fun weekend.
Listening to "night songs" seems like a peaceful way to get ready to sleep. Almost a lullaby!
ReplyDeleteLove those sounds, especially the "too-weet" cry! :0)
ReplyDeleteHi, Joy--
ReplyDeleteNice night rhyme, and I wish I could hear that elf owl in my head better. What will you do for Halloween in the desert?
Joy,
ReplyDeleteDesert night sounds could make a delightful picture book story. You know I'm very fond of your desert poems.
