Yellow Wall- Midnight Mind

Yellow Wall, Midnight Mind once, I knew this place hidden in glowing lamplight, clawing at my feet... beyond yon door, woe- from yesterday, ran away lost in yellow wall -inspired by Van Gogh's painting "The Night Cafe In The Place Lamartin In Arles"

nicely done, that is neat to have a shooting range inside the house, I bet that was fun. My son is 10 and he does well with his rifle, he hits the targets and his score is not far behind his Dad. thanks for your comments.
