"road To Kiloree"

In the dark of sullen night, on the road to Kiloree...
Rode the finest of the castle, with his lass upon his knee...
Off to wed they were, of bliss so full to brim...
He in love with her, she in love with him.

As the wind began to howl, on the road to Kiloree...
Rode lass with lad so bold, with no care but to be free...
Off to spend next hunnert years, or such as time would tell...
'Til winter's winds did cease to blow, or out of love they fell.

As clouds did gather 'round about, on the road to Kiloree...
Paused they for a moment's bliss, beneath the great oak tree...
Off to lands imagined, found in lover's charms...
He in her embrace, her trust within his arms.

As lightnin' bolt did descend, on the road to Kiloree...
Time was to then stand still, their future not meant to be...
Off to heaven's long sought door, their dreams so set them free...
In the dark of sullen night, on that road to Kiloree.

Horror Trail For Elaine George

Best friends, young carefree girls are walking down a dark, isolated eerie path, alone on a 
cool fall night. Owls screech, hearts skip a beat, time creeps and beast are howl, howl, 
howling. Senses heightened...night sounds roaring through my mind. Is it real or my 
imagination? Unknown foot steps slowly approaching over the dark hill, hearts beat, beat, 
beating erratic rhythm in my ears. 

Little legs frozen with fear, foot steps louder now, closer...approaching. Step, step, stepping 
over the dark trail. No help in sight...Girls scatter and hide in the dense forest while an 
apparition passes down the trail with a green, cloud, halo, hovering over head.

I feel a chill down my spine, a musky pungent odor rises in my nostrils as the ghoul passes. 
Quietly I hide behind a tree, breath caught in my throat, unable to speak or yell. Suddenly an 
icy hand touches my face and fear gives strength to my legs and away into the night... run, 
run, running straight into the safety of the family bonfire. Friends safe, fear forgotten.





For Elaine George's contest tell me a story-narrative

The Longbow

In the centre of the room

Quietly stood

Amongst the gloom

A bow

That gleamed

Of dark wood

 

I traced my finger

Along its’ curve

To its’ centre of inlaid bronze

It quietly stood

Six foot of dark wood

 

The centre of inlaid bronze

Was of an eagles’ wings

I was not to discover the meaning

Until I was a man

When I learnt of new and many things

 

The arrows that I saw

Straight and true

Eagle feather flights

Of brown and gold

That lay quietly

In a room

With everything to find

And more

 

I visited the room

Everyday

To see the longbow

That gleamed

Of dark wood

That quietly stood

In the gloom
