Night Blight

NIGHT BLIGHT I took the sun to bed with me stayed awake all night hid the moon beneath my bed darkened stars in my closet hung old barn cats wandered blindly sad owls mumbling “HUH!” roosters sat in silent scowl wolves contained their full moon howl The Wolf man scratched his balding head Dracula cowered in his coffin bed time’s fingers tapped – a bit irate for I had stolen early - late now I’m in the time out chair because I stole last night. 3/21/2016 submitted to – Let’s Have Some Fun – Poetry Contest sponsor – Casarah Nance
