Whispers In The Woods

She heard whispers in the dark of night Deep within the woods Voices of the dead , she thought Or satanic beings who roam in cloaked hoods Standing frozen with fear , breath rapid and low She convinced herself it was only the rustling of the trees As she walked deeper into the darkness A cloaked hooded figure stood watching with no intention to appease

Very mysterious! Foreboding. Poe, one of my favorite writers. Love it! Halloween is just around the corner, time to brush off my ghoul as well.

All very dark, Deb. Having said that...many a person would contend, that there is more than just recognised animals living deep within the woods. I personally would not disagree with any of that. :) john
