Special Feature Collaborative Poem--By Jack Horne, England and Jean Calkins, United States

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 & Jean's day and Night poem, I found it a most subjective write indeed, evoking many thoughts and memories of woodland habitats, with powerful effective lines..'
