No Words
There is no bone in the tongue
To hold the howl in a forest
So that the echo is heard in the night.
There is not tell-tale sign
That a storm is brewing
Ready to make chaos of the dirt of the path.
There is no light from the moon
In the cold months of winter
For a poet to find hidden words to rhyme
There is no way out of the darkness
Where the sounds conceal
The thoughts that are uttered in a scream.

Virginia, I believe I would scream as well, especially as my howling has gone kaput. This was a fun read, more and more troubles.

Great use of prompt words that conjure and eerie feeling and scene.

The first line and the last stanza are extra delicious. Love the imagery, the story they paint and the thoughts they provoke. And the tone is just so perfectly eerie.

this looks like little snippets of a “Friday the 13th” film, but it can also describe a person shutting out the world. 🙂
