Did you do it? Did you? Do it!
The lapwings’ screeches rent the village skies
Sleepy spiders scrambled out, scurried
Deserting shimmering gossamer gauze,
Eldritch screeches continued to taunt
Tiny creatures in the grassy meadow.
Wild owls shrugged off sleep, at length to peep.
Phosphorescent bugs rose in frenzy
Yellow Tails leapt towards crisp blue heavens
Sluggish toads abandoned shallow bogs,
Seized by reptilian jaws, Death alights!
