Wildlife Night Poem by Patricia Grantham

Wildlife Night

Rating: 5.0


Hunter at night and a sleeper by day
A lonely coyote pounces on its prey
An old gray bat is zooming all around
Some sly foxes going out on the town

Hyenas laughing and fighting for the dead
Animals scurrying eyes filled with dread
A ferocious tiger goes out on the prowl
Sounds are echoing from a screeching owl

Lions roar cause they're king of the jungle
Catching their food is without any bungle
Noisy baboons hung freely from the trees
Disturbing the hives of sweet honeybees

Night is the time for some wildlife flings
Songs breaks forth as the cuckoo bird sings
A wide eyed cougar searching for its catch
Crossed path with a bear and met its match

Leopards sleeping or basking out in the sun
Waiting for the chance to make the nights run
A pumas large glaring eyes lights up the dark
Searching and crouching then leaps on its mark

Wildcats anxiously stalking some weary deers
Celebrating their catch without any kind of fears
A pack of hungry wolves hovering over their kill
Beware of dangers for night life is never still

A detailed description of wild lives with their habits and shapes. As if I am experiencing an AFRICAN SAFARI in the dead of night. Thoroughly enjoyed.
