New Moon

Hello NLGA Dog Blog Readers!

Tonight there will be a new moon! Are your hounds afraid of the dark? This week's poem is all about dark nights from the perspective of a Greyt!

New Moon

By Katie Gilstrap

The moon is new.

The sky is dark.

The stars are dim.

The night is stark.

Against the wind,

The branches creak

And in the trees,

The ravens shriek.

I know I'm in

My own backyard,

But still, I find

It's rather hard

To overlook

And undermine

The chills that creep

Along my spine.

I must admit,

My nerves are fraught.

I should be brave,

But I am not

And so I think

I'll run inside

So I can find

A place to hide!
