Babadook. - Our real lgbtq hero ??

Sometimes the myths characterize us more than we realize You who have never been here before a nocturnal drama in the open air A worn and skinny body with bright green eyes Five hundred and two winters old That's what the king is looking for If only Friday the 13th was a lucky day listen ... a barking dog or is it a wolf No goddess of love has a broken heart The night was so long that the goat chewed several times on the rope of hunger Suddenly the light came on Maybe everything was nonsense and not scary horror at all 02/08/2020 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved If only, maybe, sometimes Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Silent One 3rd place in the contest Poem Of The Day : 04/08/2020

Big congrats on your POTD. I love this poem and the image you chose makes it even more powerful. Many great lines. My favorite is the goat chewing on "the rope of hunger." Stunning, Sunshine. Goes to my faves. Hugs, Carolyn

One remarkable aspect of travel is that one discovers how superstition flavours reality, e.g., a number can be "lucky" in one culture yet signify "death" in another. (I live on the 13th floor, yet have survived all of the previous occupants). You have down well showing how a little light on the subject changes perspectives! Well done! Aloha! Rico

Hi Anne-Lise, ghostly myths are so diverse around the world. Many are told with morals for the young written between and among the lines. Such a wonderfully atmospheric picture to set with your creative write. Wishing you well in the contest, Anne-Lise. A ghostly fav from me. Have a wonderful Monday. Love and Hugs....Mike. XX
