He hides in the shadows
Away from the light
Beneath barren trees
On a cold autumn night

When Sunlight Disappears – #poetry – #NaPoWriMo

He flies by night, through darkened skies

In search of prey, as moon does rise

Talons, hidden, tucked underneath

Eyes opened wide, he searches heath

The slightest movement, he can detect

His victim, knows no circumspect

Caught in claws, then whisked away

It shall not see the light of day

For the owl must feed his family

Hidden high above, in yonder tree

He’ll do this task, without fear

Each time the sunlight disappears

A Ziglet of Zombies – #OctoberWriting #OctPoWriMo #poetry

Destroying all they see, with fright

A ziglet of zombies, troll the night

Leaving the town, in chaos and fire

One by one, they fulfill their desire

Of taking down, the one’s so small

They have no sense of being, at all

Pieces of them, they drop on the way

Searching for their next, unwilling prey

Roaming the land, they hunt, pursue…

 

When the dead come to town, they’ll be looking for you…

Friday Fantasy ~ Chameleon

Chameleon, elf, fantasy, fey, Friday Fantasy, Night Owl Poetry, poems, poetry, prey, stalking

She lurks amongst the Wood and Reed
Luring you in without a Word
Blended with the Forest Seed
Her Outline becomes too Blurred

Invisible Movements Catch your eye
You cannot see Who is there
Fluttering Softly, like a Butterfly
She Spins you Round without a Care

Subtle Tones change her Mood
Her Disguise is merely Fey
Alas, you find you can no longer Elude
She is a Chameleon Stalking her Prey
