Minute Poem

~ When Night Calls ~

by PoemsOfDD


Bright torchlight ate the dark in round
chunks to the sound
of croaking frogs
and barking dogs.

As autumn wind ferociously
whipped every tree
to creak and sway ~
birds screeched away.

Crescendo of night's symphony
grew noisily
then suddenly
stopped eerily...
