Ghosts and goblins
and other nocturnal creatures rule the night
the staring and soaring of the owl causes the rabbit fright,
he will be caught by a hawk after first light
the hungry racoon will find your sweet corn patch
what he doesn’t eat will be turned to thatch
the mink and otter dine on frog legs,
undetered by the frog still watching them
the weasel found a hen on the nest
you can imagine the bloody rest
the muskrat buisily digs up cat tail roots and
stores them for his winter survival cache
big juicy bugs smashed on your windshield
best to clean them off before they dry
the burglar is busy checking locks and windows
regardless if the folks are home or not
people look up at the full moon,
footprints got to be there somewhere
North Pole dwellers have very long winter nights
when the sun doesn’t quite rise
truckers move the freight by night all keeping logs
all the night thoughts are filed away for future blogs
Days
sun comes up, give thanks, you have another day
make the most of your day, only going to get one chance at it
say hello to somebody, makes their day better
they saying hello back is your gain
love your neighbor, every day
love yourself too
eat healthy, get extra bonus days added to your life
we get better with age, extra days will come in handy
exercise each day, use it or lose it
go for a walk and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine
plant a garden, be amazed by the way,
watching things grow every day
make each day better than the past
we’ll never know which day will be our last
