- Imagine -

                        An late ebony night with trembling notes 
                              gurgling sounds from moist throats
                          Where pickled cucumbers shrink in a jar
                            a lost night, no glow of heaven's stars
                         A multitude of creepy and muttering ghosts
                       haunts houses and churches to find their hosts

                               With rubber muscles and warty feet
                        imagine crawling down the cobblestone street
                    Whether you come or you leave, death smells close
                      Do not feel guilty it was just your time I suppose
                         Their shadows, with the evil  hand of chance
                               never be tempted to join the dance

Karen Jones October 14, 2023 at 1:13 PM The word choice is a wonderful melodic rhyme yet traces the dark subjects such as a multitude of muttering ghosts. What an interesting contrasting technique! Enjoyed reading.
