As Darkness Fell

As darkness fell with suddenness, the sun slid behind the blood moon. Sounds of nightlife emerged off tune. You flaunted your unevenness, emboldened by dark drunkenness. Your twisted mind a fierce monsoon as darkness fell. You came with sulky sullenness and brought your foul humor jejune. You played the part of grisly goon and had lost all your humanness as darkness fell.

Linda, thanks for your rondine - this was really well done. "Scoring" poems is imperfect at best. Congrats on your 3rd place - I like a good, dark poem :-)

Well, Linda, nothing good ever happens on a night with a "blood moon", does it? This one is kind of eerie...in a good way.

Well Jim, technically the blood moon doesn't occur until Nov 8th this year, but ask Lon Chaney ;)
