Fangs

The town children Only feed at night Never to face the sun Dark eyes, emotionless smiles Tongues darting across razor fangs The town children Hunt under the harvest moon Until the shadows disappear White pallid skin Blood red lips Beware o traveler Of town children at night Your desire to give aid Will only lead you To a bloody grave Town Children Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Julia Ward 9/10/19

G'day Timothy … unfortunately Timothy, there are many street kids who survive in the nocturnal world and shun society. You've hit the spot here - Thanks again Timothy - Lindsay
