Midnight

I wrangled another chueh-chu (the way I pronounce it it sounds like a treat for the dogs) so I’m posting it for today’s Scavenger Hunt. I hope it’s okay to do the same form twice, but I like the chueh-chu, and writing a second one was hard!

Midnight

In the deep dark of the night,
I heard a fox, treading light,
through the meadow, by the house,
heard the blackbirds cluck in fright,

through the window, saw the flight
of a barn owl, ghostly white,
as the night world came to life,
bathed in silver, rich samite.
