The Chicago night life - I love
All the smells, the lights and the sounds
On all sides, below and above.
The Loop keeps looping on its rounds.
Always busy 'long Lakeshore Drive,
Lincoln Park Zoo to Navy Pier.
Sports stadiums coming alive.
The skyline glow in the Bean mirror.
I have my shadowed means and ways.
Passersby don't notice I am
Hunting by nights, sleeping by days.
I have been fitted with a cam.
Chicago born and bred I be.
Home to a coyote like me.
A coyote in Chicago, very apropos. Howl at the moon every night, let your heart know, you are just right!
Lovely poem. Based on fact? Are there really coyotes equipped with cameras wandering around Chicago at night? Fascinating. I know they have them in Los Angeles (coyotes, but I don't know about the cameras) , so why not Chicago?

Beautiful poem. Enjoyed the rhyme and rhythm. And metaphors that make the poem…
