Evil Basks

It’s a dimly lit, darkly entombed spot Here sits a lone black weeping willow tree Night encroached leaving nothing you can see Its cold, nothing about this place is hot Not a ray of light surrounds to get caught Evil basks within the nooks quite empty She sits, there on a stump she sits flatly Devoid of emotion, hope isn’t brought Expressionless she stands with great power The tree bows right to her beck and call She stands mighty and tall like a tower Grove seems to be protected by a wall All who happen to see her would cower All she sees is hate, her soul crushes all * Left over Halloween poem, I forgot to post this, enjoy!

A towering verse, impressive and inspiring! One might expect from a soul full of light as yours to emanate brighter wording!

hey, another Halloween poem from you!! This one is quite dark, Russell. Did you ever hear that song from the 70" , Where Evil Grows? This made me think of it. A really cool song.
