Mystery Walk

In the summer twilight A gargoyle silhouette yawns A rat scuffles with something in The lavish undergrowth Gravel crunches under foot and Grasshoppers click their brittle wings Watered thoughts slosh in my Head As I walk amongst the darker trees Magic mystery minces me and musters Moving fantasy! Shards of light flash in my mind Shining up some homid kind I see the Garou running free, howling! Gravel crunches under foot I continue walking.

Mysterious walk alright. I'd say spooky too. Is it halloween already? :) Your words evoke well the mystery you try to portray. A night walk can surely engage a vivid imagination. Well done. Caroline.

Oooh, the Mark of the Wolves! You clever fella...I enjoyed the gothic setting of the gargoyles but had no idea where this was headed, David. Awesome poem! But, hey, it's almost bedtime and now I'll be dreaming of you cast as the wolfman!! Very spooky, my friend. Please check out the silly poem I just posted and let me know if it's too far out. I trust your opinion. Love, Carolyn
