Curious
For Ellie Hoovs' Wonderland Challenge - Day 9
The restless moon rises
Before it is truly night
Eager to see what lingers
In the dimming light.
These creatures that roam
In the fields and the trees
Shine in the darkness
Making their way with ease.
An owl that hoots
A fox that slinks
A bat that flutters
A doe that drinks.
Stars poke through an inky curtain
The fog rolls over hills
Peepers sing a lovely chorus
While crickets perform their trills.
The moon basks in awe
How much beauty is missed
While the sun sleeps
So much wonder exists.

A scientist by trade, but a creative at heart. One novel in progress with too many other ideas taking up space in my head. Some of those ideas end up here.

This is a lovely take on curious! The night truly brings so much wonder. You captured it beautifully.
Ah, such beautiful nighttime magic! What a splendid focus for the prompt word! Wonderfully done, Alyssa!
Delightful poem with lovely rhythm and rhyme… so true, we miss much while the sun sleeps.
This was such a whimsical poem about the mystery of night. Love it.
