WIL O THE WISP
by John W Townsend → (All Poetry by John W Townsend)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

A real mystery the even Sir Arthur Conon Doyle mentioned. Very rare and hard to capture on film due to the translucent luminous glow. But many have seen it on Dartmoor, the location of The Hounds of the Baskervilles.

Wil o the wisp

thats what its called

dancing lights

on the moors,

looking like ghostly figures

that move across

the peat

and the rocks,

then slowly vanishing from sight

until it is gone.

Scared the living daylights

out of many

who trod the moors,

made them fear

the underworld

or those coming

out of their graves.

Then the years that pass

give explanation

it is Raedon gas

that is emmiting,

radioactive

thats why it glows

coming from the ground below.

Like an April fools joke. We have a few mysteries left like the crop circles, and Big Foot. You told an excellent story with your prose, John. As always a great job of writing by you.

GOD BLESS
Tony
