Outside, night chopsticks
the trees, stuffing all it can
into its terrible maw. I hear
limbs snapping in the wind
(sounds like bones): leaves
me wondering if mine will be
next on its menu. The beast's
foetid breath stills the air within
my lungs, the walls of my shelter
claws eyes awake: Phooey!! Just
another baddream, one born of fear.
My heart slowly thunders back to life ...
Nightmares crawling from the dark corners to take over our peaceful dreams, a toddy laced with a good brandy before going to bed will make the intruders dizzy and happy.
Cheers! ! !
Beasts can be anywhere, it is in our imagination and like you stated in your poem fear..Great poem, thanks for sharing your wonderful words and photos..
Peace, love, and light,

Married ten years, and more in love than ever, Robert and Marcie have everything to live for. But a terrible secret is breaking Robert's heart: he knows that Marcie is about to die...
A homonymless man writes shows what it's like to look up the laid he skirts when you’re lying prone(d) to the sidewalk, beer / joint / needle dangling from your hand /lips / arm.
