Midnight, stars twinkle
mosquitos buzz
the sound of flowing water
an occasional splash
A bull frog croaks out a beat
and the tree frogs sing harmony
the owl lead sings from the trees
and the cicada sings backup
My black light illuminates
the night purple
as flying insects glow
as does the crawling scorpion
Monofilament fishing line
creates purple lines
running into the water
like lasers fired
Watching and waiting
on the riverbank
for the line to quiver
and the rod to bend
Night crawlers squirm
in their styrofoam bowl
waiting their turn
to search for catfish
