Living Scary Fantasies

Loner waiting, watching the women walking,
planning murder, grinning and chuckling softly,
stands in shadows, touching his hidden dagger,
choosing a victim...

written 16th July for Constance's Scary S Form contest

What a fabulous and creepy little contrite and wondrous write my friend! You have captivated me with all the intense words and leading enjambments within your piece! You have nicely put me on edge by the ending of each line, leading me into the next one with eager attention! I anticipated a grandiose poem from you and you didn't disappoint! Thank you for sharing this tremendous piece! Great Work!!

Love it, Jack. I should have chose a form like this one . I chose the word Scary too but did it as a sonnet (not yet posted) Thanks for seeing my poetry today. I really appreciate it.
