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.
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.

ReplyDelete...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.
ReplyDeleteSo, we are safer living with animals ... and developing our animal sense.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a perfectly crafted poem, brilliantly saying much in few words. I particularly love the second verse, of course.
