Creatures of Hue and Cry

~ Emboss of Mt. Forgotten ~

Mt. Forgotten © Ken James McLeod

With the coming of dusk, they come for me beyond the smoldering remains of ember coals,

Dancing figures of the night betwixt the shimmering shoals.

 

And tho I couldn't quite hear,

They whispered things that made me fear.

 

Oh what fright that lurks in forest shadows beyond my sight,

Goblins, Trolls, Witches and the like -- things that go "eek" in the black-blue night.

 

Inside tent hovel -- safe (?) -- from the plod,

And into sandman's realm I render doth nod . . .
