Tom Quigley Poet Tanka

Nosferatu's Heir

Dying light in West
     Sunset of revelation
          Leather wings transmute
Shameful legacy refused
     Better hungry than blood drunk

Tim Smith May 26, 2016 at 12:50 PM I like it Tom...the pictures are pretty creepy...lol Tom Quigley May 26, 2016 at 4:22 PM Thanks, Tim! The eyes on that second one--the original movie Nosferatu--are as freaky as any modern makeup, IMO!
