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.
