Form: Vertical Monocrostic
Mysterious light
That lies outside my dwelling
Is a black candle
With an ardent eeriness
A skull plastered on the face
It reads fear exists
Written right on the candle
Condemning all those
Who might try to enter here
Ward to keep evil at bay
Russell Sivey
Constellations shine
over the maroon cave' mouth
and eerie darkness.
