Jenna Logan Poet Rhyme

The Bark

The night was dark, in the park when I heard a bark

then a ringing bell, blood curdling yell straight from Hell

A loud clunking sound from the ground had me spellbound

by the ploys of the noise, but still maintained my poise.

I shed a tear from fear, but there was no one near.

No hand to hold, when I felt so cold, then behold!

Revealed, what had thus been concealed, an old airfield

Two ghostly planes and blood stains, wings secured by chains

The thump sound was a pump used to clean out the sump

The barking ceased. Time to feast, or a brew, at least!

I am so sorry this is coming a month late, due to the pressure, we medical practitioners are facing at this time, I didn't have the time to go through the contest, but I am glad I did. it was a difficult decision to make, a big congratulations to you once again.

Mark Koplin August 21, 2020 at 2:41 AM Well done, I tried to write something for this contest but I was killing too many trees Jenna Logan August 21, 2020 at 3:30 AM Tree hugger not mugger, Mark. It was a bit of a challenge that I'm not sure was met. Thanks!

John Watt August 20, 2020 at 10:29 PM I see you have applied your very talented pen to a challenging contest. It reads very smoothly and with a lucid storyline. Well done, Jenna! Jenna Logan August 21, 2020 at 3:29 AM I started it a week ago then gave up, but I don't like to leave things undone, so there it is...blah blah blah. Thank you for thinking it makes sense, John.
