In the manner of Ezra Pound’s In the Station the a Metro. In its entirety:
The apparition of these faces in the crowd:
Petals on a wet, black bough.
For those of you who think all poems must be long.
In the Backyard at Night
the clouds drift and cover the full moon.
a coyote carries a dead rabbit in its mouth.

Unlucky for the rabbit, but coyotes need to eat too.

Quite an image — unsettling and alluring at once! 🙂

Yes, a poem doesn’t have to be long to be full of impact. This one certainly is.

Short but not so sweet and full of story.

For Poets United, midweek motif, I wrote the same poem…only longer.

Nice to hear this. I didn’t visit PU that last week.

When I let Zacky Peanut out after dark I have to go out with him, with a flashlight, because there are coyotes in the area. He is bigger than the dogs they are known for messing with, but still. Not letting any coyote get my baby boy.

I just don’t understand these people who let their animals run around unsupervised at night, knowing about coyotes. Although they have to eat too, I would rather they rout out a raccoon or a possum rather than my much loved pet. Coyotes can be froshus.
