A chapter in the book Random Rhyme and Petty Prose
Silent Stage
by Bill Schott
Translucent clouds veil the harvest moon as it illuminates the park playground this evening.
Shadows of the still structures are joined by a creeping specter, slinking past the merry-go-round, beneath the teeter-totter, between the swings, and near the metal slide.
This feral feline pauses in the center of the sawdust circle, appearing as a panther, preparing to pounce on some nocturnal nosh.
Mouse movement ignites the night and the chase is on. The scene again is a silent stage of frozen potential frolic.
