Day and Night
by Jack Horne and Jean Calkins
Summer sun burns the Blue Ridge.
Under the canopy of leaves,
forest denizens seek shade,
take a deserved nap.
Twilight is the safe time for feeding.
Silence broken by
cries of predators and prey
in the woods at night.
I am the only human
and feel at one.
Jack and Jean, thank you for your well written collaborative poem that I found quite enjoyable. I could well picture it. Being one with nature gives me a peaceful feeling of love from it's maker. Keep sharing your talents.

Well captured. The different pens hi-lite perfectly the different 'us' and 'them' natures of this piece. Very enjoyable. Ralph.
