Crossings

Again, maybe not a poem, but something nice, I hope?

                     “CROSSINGS”


 


                Bright balls of sun


         Zipping and zooming past


   Intolerable, ear-piercing man made noise.


 


                 Watchful little eyes,


        Anticipation, anxiety, hesitation


    I can, no I can’t, yes, I can, I can, I can…


 


                         I DID IT!


 


 (Did you ever think what it feels like to be a little woodland creature trying to cross a major highway at night?)

You know I have, Ed. :) More so like you wrote with all the animaled Disney films with talking, thinking critters of all kinds! ;) I see much sensitivity in the manner you write and review, stay that way. :)

Until now I never did wonder what went through the minds of the hapless creatures that dare to venture against a busy street...you've brought a thoughtful insight into this side of life. Great write!!
