Ignis Fatuus

The friar’s light, a deceiving light, my nightmares deluding my mind crossing the misty moors at night. The friar’s light, a deceiving light. Howling hounds affright – bite! They bite! My eyes wide open but I’m blind! The friar’s light, a deceiving light, my nightmares deluding my mind.

In daylight the moors are a lovely sight, but come night, they are a scary place to be....and your poem goes to prove that, Linda! Congratulations on placing first! Regards // paul

Like Jan, I thought of "The Hound of the Baskervilles". The images of friars and moors give it a vintage feel and the howling hounds add to the spookiness of it all. Congrats on your win, Linda!
