Our words are: scratches screeches soothes fringe image sighs locks shiny rises swarm ghoulish night.

Banshees Take Flight 

On the fringe of here and there 

Rises the existence of everywhere.

A swarm of banshees take to flight

Their ghoulish screeches fill the night.

Their scary images shadow the blocks 

As they fly overhead with wily locks.

Rushing indoors feeling soothed by the shiny floors

As I sigh relief, then tiny scratches on the door.

Am I safe, now, no one knows

But I’ll feel better when the dawn’s rooster crows…

Sunday Whirl Wordle #672

Our words are:

quivers, limbs, scattered, yellow, twirl, hearts, streak, faint, bags, three, howls, long

DARKNESS CHASING ME HOME

I shiver and quiver as night falls

A yellow moon completes it all.

Each limb shakes for my fear of the dark 

The daylight fades fast as I leave the park.

I twirl around fast and sprint home 

My heart jumps hearing three long howls, I’m not alone.

Moonlight scattered through dark trees 

Streaks of occasional faint light, not enough to appease.

As I run, the night life all has its say 

Crickets, owls, other sounds, all along the way.

Almost home now, feet don’t drag

Lest I might end up in body bag.

My familiar street, I’m nearly there 

At the moment, not else will compare.

My front door opens, warm familiar light

I fast scurry in and escape the night…

Only In Dreams

Our dreams travel along a road paved in the finest silk.

In the shadow of the moonlight.

Some inspire us while others leave us trembling.

What connections in our minds zigzag and create all of these vivid nighttime events.

Prophets have had their visions and meditated in prayers afterwards.

Even our greatest minds may never solve the puzzles that are hidden and resolved in our dreams.
