Their presense almost palpable
within these courtyard walls,
as ominous foreboding clouds
lend creedence to their calls.

A sound of short duration made
more urgent by these haunts,
in gruesome desolation each
unfinished echo taunts.

Where shadow of the guillotine
once fell on blood drenched stone,
to grieve in isolation of
detachment quite alone.

Where pleas did fall on biased ears
while thunk of steel was heard,
in witness to a harvest grim
and grins of severed words.

Dr.Moose1,

This is a nicely written grisly poem. It works well.

Seoulair,
Thank you.
Doc

Bobby,
Thank you. Grisly/gruesome, not my normal fare.
Doc

Ida,
Thanks, I must admit the title may have been a little misleading.
Doc

Krysti,
Thank you for saying so, must be he missed it, or is like me and doesn't reply often.
Doc

Dear Marge,
How nice of you to say, you're a marvel.

I am absolutely astounded. I had to look up a few words, but I was blown away by the (input positive and descriptive word) of your poem.

Thank you so much for sharing this piece as well as teaching me a new word: palpable. I would also like to apologize for not commenting earlier.
