is veiled by the drifting cloud
The stars
are clad in black paint
Deep, wide, and endless
A scary night.
Horrific melody,
hooting and wailing from distance
Squeaking and creaking nigh
Tapping
on my roof,
the hoofs
of a sudden rain.
Barging wind,
banging my door
To its bidding
my window's wings flap
My name spews into the atmosphere,
the whisper
of a spooky prowler.
Audible
The thunder rages,
holding a flashing sword
to do loose demons
into swaying debris.
A scream and a thud
at my front door.
poem by Adewale Samuel
