Mystery

Mystery Rising chill shrouded by a sudden opaque fog of the unexplained - In muffled footsteps, muted whispers with twisted creaks - Misted clues, out of reach on cobweb tangles, shiver at your faceless mask Gauzy tatters obscure a murky portal path - riddle's revelations - Shadow's puzzles taunt the lost conundrums teased Apprehension tingles in enigma's charades - mystery begs solution 6-7-21 Contest: Bite Size Poem 5 Sponsor: Line Gauthier

Thank you so much Evelyn! I was hoping for that feeling as the essence of mystery! So grateful for your confirmation! I thought of all of your color filled poems when writing only to realize that mystery has no color only sensations! So grateful for your best wishes. Sending you blessings!

What a compliment Tom - to be compared to the master of dark writing, Poe! Thank you! I had fun thinking about mystery then trying to articulate the feeling. Hope you are well! All the best. Over Fork Over.
