Oregon Ode #1
By Jerry Dale McDonnell Published: http://deadsnakes.blogspot.com/2016/01/jerry-dale-mcdonnell-three-poems.html Jan. 18, 2014 Half moon bright light Oregon Night Coyotes howl and yip around my camp. They frighten me a little, so many of them Surrounding me from everywhere. I am alone, yet I own my place And fall asleep in my worn, prime Goose down sleeping bag assuring Myself if I don’t frighten you You won’t frighten me. While hundreds of miles away Millions of serious people Frighten me more.
