Fearful Meeting

The lighting, it was over-bright.
Without it, night was dark as sin.
The big flash showed a scary sight.
The lighting, it was over-bright.
I thought my heart might stop from fright.
The flash had shown a specter's grin.
The lighting, it was over-bright.
Without it, night was dark as sin.

"A specter's grin" ensures it was scary for me, and you almost had your heart stopping from fright, I see. ;) Well done on your third place win on the very short winners' list, Joyce. Best wishes, Julia
