Premium Member Mighty Predators
Come the mighty night
with stars and moon blazing bright.
Hunters hark delight!
Predators prey with sharp sight.
Smaller creatures cringe, affright!...

Premium Member Scarecrow's Watch
Abandon moon, leaves  star filled night 
Biting wind howled,  darken sky affright 
Crossed the golden field left or right   
Daunting job just standing with eyes shut tight 
Elating,  not a crow in sight

The friar’s light, a deceiving light,
my nightmares deluding my mind
crossing the misty moors at night.
The friar’s light, a deceiving light.
Howling hounds affright – bite! They bite!
My eyes wide open but I’m blind!
The friar’s light, a deceiving light,
my nightmares deluding my mind....

Premium Member Fighting the Demon
Demon fright in darkest night despite bright heaven's light life seems so finite, recondite, so trite. Thus, affright, we fight, as we write our delight in nightmared midnight to unveil our twilight sight and, once more, see right.

Premium Member The Sandman Tip-Toes
The Sandman tip-toes into the room
  on that night when witches fly by on brooms

His task, alas, is daunting tonight
  with ghosts affright, jack-o-lanterns alight

Yet tired trick-or-treaters soon enough
  long for the comfort of their pillow's fluff

That's when the Sandman makes his move ~
  tender eyelids grow heavy, magic touch again proved...

Like Diamonds in the Trees
The freezing rain fell through the night as Mother Nature cast her curse and in the morn the world affright. The chilling sight seemed so adverse; a frozen wasteland getting worse. But sunrise on the second day found Mother Nature’s new display as in the trees with icy tone reflections in the sun’s bright ray like diamonds on the branches shown.

Never-Land
Lay it out dissected star,
Thy beauty marred seen from afar,
That science has what's done to thee,
Destroyed that flight, orb's fantasy.
Where the mountains of the moon rise surging
Up from shallow seas aspiring,
And the circle of unending light
Has left us in the dark affright.
(Twil come back another night)
Another day unfolding sight.
Discover what you can you might!
But the distance curved and bright
You will never travel.
(from DREAM-LAND with apologies to Mr. Poe)...
