Water

Water slides over the edge of a cliff,
Then, silent.
All night cheering to the bottom of the cliff:
Same song... same voice.

Frogs, lizards, crickets and cats
Sing all night together
Trying to drown out the water!
At 4am the rooster crows.
Frogs, lizards, crickets and cats soon stop.
Water wins!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This was the first poem I had written since high school -13 years earlier.  I was vacationing at a nature retreat in Dominica, West Indies in 1996..
