Nightmare

deserted area of the town… lonely Owl hoots tu-whooo! tu-whit… premonition of a sinister sight!!!! Eerie midnight …walking through the field, find three witches asking me to yield, around a cauldron abominable they look, wonder what they're brewing following their book! Are they concocting lizard's leg, toe of a frog Fillet of a snake, tongue of a dog! A frightful castle on top of the hill, does Macbeth live there …I shiver with chill! An uncanny mysterious moon shines so bright, silhouettes of ghosts and goblins wander in sight. Hear deadly werewolves howling and gnashing teeth, I dread this menacing night, I hardly can breathe. I scream in terror, the witches signal to me, I stumble in sheer panic, they wouldn't let me free. Ohhh…gosh..what a nightmare! what a terrifying night! Ghoulish things disappeared with bright morning light! March 22, 2023 Writing Challenge - "N" words Poetry Contest Theme: Nightmare Sponsor: Constance La France SECOND PLACE
