Poetry Day: On This Hallowed Night

(A fun poem aiming for imagery.)

Howling winds

Across the barren roads

Pulsing candlelight

Pouring from disfigured gourds

Yellow moon rising

High above the shadows

And coating trees in light

Leaping cats dart around

Loosing hisses through the night

Only to vanish with no trace

When midnight tolls

Every child should be asleep

Enwrapped in cooling blankets

No dreams of fear tonight

About Charles Yallowitz

Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.

    Very vivid imagery! It ends nicely with children in a cozy bed.
