Long Shadows Creep

As sunsets fading embers glow,
   Their shadows reach, to us below.
   While earth she dons her night times cloak,
   Moonlights soft shadows will evoke.
   Dark phantoms creeping in the night,
   From candles dancing flames of light.
   That flickers with the evenings breeze,
   Mischievous zephyrs start to tease.
   Long shadows cast, the pipistrelle,
   As vampire bats, borne out of hell.
   And shades when spiders catch the fly,
   Those candle flames do magnify.
   Nights lurid scenes upon a wall.
   Soon changing shadows will enthrall.
   Moonlight is veiled by clouds of grey,
   Their shadows dance the night away.
   Aurora's colours, strobe the skies,
   To herald in, mornings sunrise.

Hello Jan, thankyou for your most wonderful comments. I have just replied to you about my Jack Frost poem, its maybe why this poem was not placed at all. It seems my entry to your contest had suffered a similar fate.Systems error 500 is the culprit. My warmest regards to you. George.

That's the reason I didn't like candles when I was a little girl. Those dancing flames conjured up all kinds of scary things. I enjoyed this one, George.
