Ian
No sound from the birds.
No croaking from the frogs.
The crickets are silent.
No movement of the air.
Moss is hanging motionless.
Mother Nature is crouched in terror.
Padding across the Gulf,
An evil creature approaches.
Its single eye gleams,
As it turns toward us.
Mother Nature is crouched in terror,
But she knows not,
Which way to run.
