Darkness

Darkness

 

Listen to the whispers of night

distant sounds and impenetrable sights

The wind and rustle of the trees

a ghostly creak of a door ill at ease

Shapes and sounds do readily colllide

from which no one awake can hide

A dog howls, two cats fight

sounds that cause fear to stike

Thoughts within reflect the dark

and their reality becomes more stark

Only time will herald the day

and cast night´s shadows far away

◄ The Lady of the House

A Dagger drawn ►

err, there's something not right about this page Keith as it appears as if I have posted it. There is no Like button but an Edit button instead. I think I have found a WoL glitch !! Anyone else getting the same here? Same on your previous entry but beyond that it reverts to normal. Have alerted the moderator. Col.

you've captured this really well Keith - I particularly like that ill at ease door. I also like to find word patterns within lines whether intentional or not - like the double l's in 'ill' and 'collide' although you have inadvertently used three in 'colllide'. Good stuff. Col.
