Poem
howling black wolves complain to new moon, of devastation wrought by creatures! different from rest in size and shape, walk on two legs, strange hairless features! in packs behind rigid barriers, cunning to modulate world to needs, the rivers run dark under their feet, trees have perished to nourish their seeds! clouds now migrate away to the south, it thunders and rains where once desert, vast oceans expand as glaciers melt, cold death now haunts where once birds would nest. hunt us down, say are born of devil, spare not a thought for nature’s reasons, we hunt when hungry, the weak and lame, but they kill for game in all seasons! fire horrors ravage homely woods, cuckoo laments morning with its lore, big herds that walked now dress their rooms, world is wounded, earth is bleeding sore! Horror! Horror! we cry to the moon, our laments tear down the dark silence, ruled by these creatures with hearts of stone, they are destructive sans repentance! we fear not ghosts that lurk in the dark, nor dripping blood from a sharpened steel, greater horror lurks where these things haunt, a pestilence that rocks nature’s keel! Written 3/May/2021 Funom Makama sponsored Horror poetry contest 9 syllables each line- lines2 and 4 rhyme in all quatrains! POTD 05/05/2021
