AT THE WATER'S EDGE

As the dragonfly skims over the lake

The silvery hue of the moon awakes

Shimmering, ripples reflecting moon

Lake's little wildlife sing out of tune.

Night's little orchestra, wings ablaze

Look at the line up! They're all sex-crazed.

Listen! I hear little voices....

Come on over!

Under my wing

Start to undress

We'll have a fling.

No! Come here Sweetie

Lets just mate

Come shy boy!

Before its too late.

While others sing:

Hurry! Hurry! Before sunrise.

Bigger folk will eat us

You'll be so surprised.

Nature's little bonkers making love sounds

Chirping, stomping over moon-lit ground

All mating to a different drum

Sounds so deafening; united they hum.

With an all for one; sex crazed orgy

Nature's little bonkers... all in their glory.

LauraraMonique, thank you so much for reviewing. I wasn't sure how people would take my calling on Nature's little bonkers lol. Nice to meet you.

[LauraraMonique]

Haha, I always feel the same about my own writing. It's nice to meet you as well, I hope you're having a good day. It's night on my side of the world and I can't sleep

LOL

[andrew mitchell]

[Vishuddha]

This is a lovely poem. It calls up all the crickets and cicadas and frogs, so insistent in the summer nights. I must, however, object to the phrase "Lake's little wildlife sing out of tune" because, to my mind, they are very much in tune with one another and each other. It does seem that the sentiment makes more sense to us than the actual music, but, if we had the ears of the grass or the mud or the stars, who knows? If you read this poem to them, perhaps they will even applaud.

[andrew mitchell]

Thank you for your kind review and they would probably object to being called little bonkers lol

[Vishuddha]

Or they would laugh

[sereenaoutloud]

i agree with James (sorry I'm thieving you words again lo,) but this was very creative and great imagery. I love how you explained it all as "Night's little orchestra" !

[Perkele.7885]

Now, this little sexual symphony was a well put together, go-getter. I enjoyed the concept! Great write!

[Jamestown]

free for all at the water's edge, creative and well written, thanks for
sharing and b-blessed!
