 When the moon is blocked by gray clouds,
A lone woman visits the graves,
She wears a black dress like a shroud.

She speaks, but her words are not loud,
She whispers and calls them by name,
When the moon is blocked by gray clouds.

The deceased has grown to a crowd,
She speaks tenderly to the dead,
She wears a black dress like a shroud.

With the handgun she kept her vows,
As her victims entered her net,
When the moon is blocked by gray clouds,

They came strutting and oh, so proud,
And many more will find her web,
She wears a black dress like a shroud.

Her name is Danielle of the Marsh,
She hides her real name, Black Widow,
When the moon is blocked by gray clouds,
She wears a black dress like a shroud.

A plot of ground,
in the dark of night.
And through the darkness,
this was a very good write.

Your words make me see so much, Jerry. For some reason, I feel a connection with your "Black Widow". Nature tells us so much! I picture her........I do.

Love ya!

Jane

Not what I expected, but I accept the night maiden, waiting around the corner of everyone's pending death. A bit repetitious, like most popular songs have to be in order to get the humdrum minds of listeners to listen to the chanting.

I love dark poetry. It releases our hidden demons. The Black Widow and Bloody Mary are some of my favorites.
