Jaded Trail

Blithe fools traipsing through bleary hollow  Airy sprites in hovering tents shadow Brooding sylvan fringe shrouding light with her swaying willow Jaded beams peep through the crenelated steeple's window Sprouting thickets bristling with spiny tendrils each step harrow Creepy vermin frenetically scurry under foot from burrow to burrow A musty dampness shivers intruders; beneath feet liken's slimy residual doth grow   Whistling winds hauntingly whisper a doleful strain  Ominous portent overhead; hoot owls continuously bleet their eerie refrain Perilous pitfalls surround; ensnaring cracks, crevices unwitting lives drain Poisonous foliage ensconses the beaten path distilled with its potion of pain Jagged course nearly run; wayfarers enlightened by each cumbersome travail  Weary itinerants seasoned on nature's, menacing plain Pensively treading the last mile over the rough, foreboding terrain
