Crickets & Owls & Bats & Moths: Overnight Shift Tanka

Rating: ★5.0


The night is so rife
w/ the sounds of life when the
paper hits the stoop
i wait for it to grow legs
& dance to the melody.

This is great. There's always a melody playing. It's a shame we don't always hear it. I love the idea of the paper growing legs and dancing. Thanks....10.... Richard
