What does howl in blackest night
Headstones, aglow in pale moonlight
Whilst spirits wander, invisible sights
Taunting, in their whirling flight
Those who lie here, they have said
Are really not the ones so dead
For they’ve come from their earthly bed
To wreak the havoc, fill with dread
You, who doesn’t believe so true
Until they claim the breath you drew
Leaving you to wonder who
Took your soul, your heart, no clue
Was left behind in their devilish wake
Underfoot, the ground does quake
As you slip away, you begin to shake
Realizing this was your mistake
That dealt the hand and held your card
You drift away, put down your guard
Now you join them, ravenous, and scarred
Dancing in the old graveyard

Ha ha… I think so…. hold on… let me look out my window. Yup… it’s night, I never really know when I get absorbed in my writing. 😉 Of course do we as writers really care whether it’s day or night?

Night has always called a different word set for me. I prefer to write at night although I suppose writing with the lights off could serve that purpose lol
