The Midnight Jaunt
the night was dark and strangely eerie
void of stars and moonlight, queery...
no breeze astir, no sound or rustle...
as spirits danced in silent tussle...
the woods alit with glowing eyes
along the path screamed silent cries...
the air was chill with dark intent...
to lure all passersby, content.
barren trees with grasping fingers
extended to grab who foolish lingers.
tangled roots reached up ensnaring
all who trod across them daring.
shadows loomed, in haunting presence
refracting spooky evil essence.
beckoned all unto its prison...
to torment till the sun was risen.
the night was dark and strangely eerie
void of stars and moonlight, leery...
changed my mind for midnight jaunting
woods this night were just too daunting.
