DARKNESS ROLLS IN

Dark skies are moving in.

The town is dark as sin.

Rumbling fills the humid air,

And The Dead will soon be here.

Hail begins to fall,

Big as a baseball.

Lightning joins the hot fray.

I’m not going to stay.

We must escape this night

Before we lose the fight.

Wolf has come for me.

I’m as afraid as I can be.

THE DEAD GAME

As I write this, dark clouds just like that are are scudding across our skies. But the only death that I know of them bringing is flooding out a few critters (some in automobiles) in the torrential rainfall that in some areas the dead have be buried above ground.

Looks like something is doing a good job of "pushing up daisies," in front of that post. ;-)

We are wise when we make the escape before it's too late, I can feel the shiver of the daisies, xo

Yes, I agree, sometimes less is more. Your imagery works well here in this perceptive poem. Love the picture, by the way, that's about as ominous as it can get. John

Thank you, Jerry Bolton. I'm trying to use fewer words in my writing and have these words pack a bigger punch.

The dark can spellbound us to the point that the only thing that matters is to run, run, run. You conveyed that in this poem.
