Sotto Poet Poet Pleiades

Ghouls

Written September 27, 2025 for contest Sponsored by: Joseph May

             ***********

Graveyards speak their secrets
Gleams fade in moonlight breath
Groans sound from hollow trees
Glimpses of claws in gloom
Gates creak with weird warning
Glowing eyes watch you sleep
Gone is the shelter of night

Valsa George September 28, 2025 at 9:36 PM Your description is so picturesque that one feels a ghoul in front of him with glowing eyes and sharp claws. Imagine groans arising from hollow trees. Sends chills down the spine. Great entry dear Lasaad.
