one o’clock in the morning sitting here looking out the window moon bright moon very bright tonight lights up the lethargic Bayou Lafourche a glass of red wine all is right with the world no . . . it isn’t something is different about tonight something which makes the hairs on my arms tingle and stand rigid on the window something gives unto the night this is a good time to sit and ponder everything is quiet no daytime noise nothing quiet as that preverbal church mouse and yet there is something not right my mutt makes a keening sound walks to the door sniffs . . . comes back to look imploringly at me do something, man she seems to say and so I do I rise and close the blinds and as I do . . . on the window something gives unto the night ©September 9, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Very mysterious JerryPat. ...let's hear more of this darkening tale. 88's friend She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Thanks, Ticklefingers, I hadn't given much thought, if any, past this version of the poem. Who know, maybe, not quarantining it, but maybe. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Oh Paula, thank you also. Okay, I'll try to work another poem up concerning this one. It may take me a couple of days . . . (longer)? ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

A creepy cliff hanger for sure! These days you don't know what kind of crazy is out lurking in the dark. Be safe. ~L |

Yes indeed, Lori, the mean and scary ones walk among us, and they all are not masked up for Halloween. Thank you. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
