A Spectral Owl
Cloaked in a fitting grey suit and bow tie, She floats like paper kites across meadows. From a hollow in a tree, her eyes pry~ Her loud hoot startles nearby sleeping crows. The spectral owl, with her faint, surprised look, Watches as the crows flee into the dark. Then silence reigns, curbed only by a brook, And chirps of birds in the...

Boo!
In the chill of night, when shadows dance and sway, A tale of Halloween, I'm bound to convey. A story woven from the threads of scare, Beware the whispers in the haunted air. In a quaint old town, where cobwebs hung, Where eldritch secrets from the rafters clung, The people gathered, dressed in fright, To celebrate...

Spectral Dance of Twilight
In the crepuscular embrace, where day and night entwine, Dances a spectral ballet, in a twilight so divine. Shadows caress the amber light, where contrasts boldly play, An ephemeral bridge suspended, between the night and day. A gentle breeze whispers tales, through the boughs with ease, Leaves rustle with soft retorts, a symphony amongst the trees. Birds etch their silhouette, against...

Premium Member The Spectral Light
Down the winding road of life, My spirit leads the way. On a course, I know not where, Yet I'm grateful for the day. I stop to look upon the past, Then forge a path ahead. Each step brings me closer still, To a fate I cannot shed. In the distance I see a light And a voice calls out to me. Stating that the...

Monsoon, the tricky magician has drawn A spectral stripe ,high from left to right The sly violet slackens to turn into red, The weary sun has travelled since dawn Yet glows yond on the horizon to infuse Lively spirit in the drab day , almost gone, And smiles hopefully promising to return; Abracadabra :...

Premium Member Sonnet 90, Spectral Rising
Sonnet 90, Spectral Rising (Shakespearean) As the last dead leaf falls from a tall tree, spiraling into piles upon the sleigh; the sun drops into the furious sea; time for the winter and darkness to play. In a blasphemous act of regaling Reach from the cold earth resting in your grave; To the hate and lies forever-failing. Recapturing the breath your mother gave. A...

Spectral Dream
I found myself in a distant place, An ethereal presence was by my side, Surrounded by trees in a darkened wood, I Instinctively felt he was to be my guide. To where, I dared not guess or know, This chimera beckoned me to follow, towards where I saw a light shine bright, Down a craggy lane into a hollow. The forest around...

The Spectral Knight
I wandered alone, in this dark night. Holding my amulet close, protect my soul. For I fear none, but spectral knight. Who haunt this trail, ask for vengeance. I hasten my pace, prayer in mouth. Hope soon to leave, this damned trail. The moon has retreated, behind the cloud. So do the star, shine no more. All I have left, sound of tempest. Those...
