David Byrne Poet Free verse

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.

Caroline Cécile Delacroix June 4, 2010 at 2:45 PM 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.

Carol Sunshine Brown June 4, 2010 at 7:22 AM This is a great way to start my morning reading poetry. I am glad your poetry was among the poetry I have the pleasure to read today. Wishing you a weekend full of love and inspiration David. Love, Carol

Carolyn Devonshire June 3, 2010 at 9:08 PM 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
