Dark Night - City Streets - For Contest

Dark Night – City Streets A dark night on city streets soft yellow glare of streetlights outlining slow creepy things. Scents of cooling kitchens and boiling excitement tickled the deepening thrill. A rising tremor of frightful glee slinking through the streets mocking the shadows lies. City streets crawling with anticipation window shades peeked through doors held ajar in preparation, For they would come – as always on this, their night, utter again the monsters mantra – Trick or Treat. Flow in wicked waves of want seek the lowly sustenance of the sticky sweet tribute. Short, weary legs of demons tire easily - and slowly retreat to comfort of warm lairs. Window shades are straightened doors closed and locked streetlight shadows calmed As monsters – cleaned and preened, hugged and nuzzled in their nests sleep, and dream, of Halloween. 10/24/2015
