Skeltons

Skeletons

Skeletons remain embarking in the closets,lurking in shadows.
Detecting- ridiculing  your   despair,riding  the  hind  quarters like a stallion.
Black raven's  peck   at  your soul,spreading news  of tragedy.
Legends of the old ,creeping through corridors.
Whispering  words of the untold truths.
Looting  every small bit of hope,Skeletons remain embarking in closets,lurking in shadows.
Whispering   untold truths and lies...
Tears in   the rain ,and  hushed   pain..
whilst that black raven  pecks out your eye sight has you blindfolded;
to the  skeletons  remaining.

You are welcome, Brenda,, Thank you for the comment on my comment. I am looking forward, in hearing from you again. You will enjoy this site, I guaranteed or my fun poetry name isn't PD :) I highly recommend the blog area, there you can read what is hot, and what is going on here at The Poetry Soup. If you like click on some of the side features ((-UNDER- the area where it reads "Member Poets/Poems")) to the left of this comment. -That's my favorite soup section. If you scroll down to where it reads "Contests" you will enjoy the "Contest Winners: Member " feature. Click away, and check out what's cooking. Enjoy reading and following, many of the incoming winners. "I SURE DO." Please feel free to comment and read any of my poems, if you'd like. My poems are not the easiest to understand:) I'm still learning myself. However, I enjoy encouraging others. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I might be able to help, if not I will recommend someone. Take Care~LINDA~
