I hear sounds in the dark hour that bite, There is a reason I'm all hunkered down, Upon my window salivates the night. I sit here with all my candles and write, Dreaming of my lady in satin gowns, I hear sounds in the dark hour that bite. My woman believes I am her White Knight, But times such as now I feel like a clown, Upon my window salivates the night. Wonder what she'd think if she knew my fright? I sit here writing, wearing a half crown, I hear sounds in the dark hour that bite. I hope that she never knows of my plight, As I write by candles in my ghost town, Upon my window salivates the night. My last name is Poe, and fear I invite, My sweet Annabel's smile will be a frown. I hear sounds in the dark hour that bite. Upon my window salivates the night. ©September 17, 2016 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Thank you so much jjote, for your kind thoughts. Yeah, PiP sure isn't anything like it was. I've threatened to leave forever, but always find my way back. Nowadays I just accept what is . . . ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
