Come with a flashlight
and under the moon...
we'll look into the eyes of alligators.
The bugs are biting
and under the moon...
we'll look into the eyes of alligators.
They loom closer
and under the moon...
we'll look into the eyes of alligators.
We start to run
and under the moon...
we'll look into the eyes of alligators.
Off of the boardwalk
and under the moon...
we'll look into the eyes of alligators.
We run to the car
and under the moon...
we'll look into the eyes of alligators.
In our dreams
and under the moon...
we'll look into the eyes of alligators.
Author notes
This is not related to the picture...
I went on a night hike with a ranger over winter break and it was really cool. If you shined a flashlight over the water line the alligator's eyes would reflect the light. This never happened (obviously) but it was scary.

This is a very imaginative and well written poem. The title really caught my interest, I like alligators.
I thought it was really sweet someone associated "magical nights" with looking into the eyes of alligators. I think that would be a very magical experiance, and I can see after reading your author notes how it was inspired.
Thank you for your entry!
