sound logic

they say 
animals 
hear it first

the low, 
throaty 
exhale of danger

tsunamis,
hurricanes
and the devil 

you better
know
under your bed

  7. This is why so many wild creatures are in distress - whales, lions, elephants, wolves, bears......smaller creatures. They are already feeling what humans are too slow to recognize.

  8. nope no monsters in our house. But animals know danger before it happens. 115 minutes before an earthquake struck here, my cat began acting strange and the birds outside and all other creatures were silent - as if by their silence they could hide.

  9. ...I haven't checked under the bed for years! If there is anybody there I am sure they are happy I don't disturb them.

  10. So, we are safer living with animals ... and developing our animal sense.

  11. I think this is a perfectly crafted poem, brilliantly saying much in few words. I particularly love the second verse, of course.
