SNAP!
My eyes
flew open
like a windowshade
pulled up too quickly
But outside my two windows
nothing could be seen
in the heavy
darkness
"Did you hear that?"
a whisper
from my husband
slides towards me
As I gave
an invisible nod
the sound repeated
ghosting through the night
A moose call
echoing deeply
up and down
the riverbank
I love the title and the opening! Snap! Really sets the tone. It's fluid and fun to read.
ReplyDeleteWhat an indoctrination to camping! Yes, I was scared! Hence the sliding to my "strenght."
ReplyDeleteIt was quite a spooky first night camping!
