Night comes on a shadow’s edge, as dusk soft shoes the afternoon away. Gray turns black against the stark white of a monotonous billboard blinking the bikini curves of a million dollar smile. Nodding against the feast of slumber, as the growl of a gut’s pit awaits the gong of twelve and hickory dickery finds the dock.. Peace, the snooze beneath a hardbound volume of quaint lore as the swish of a glinting steel blade nicks the edge of a curdling scream of reality echoing the cavernous walls of cold stone. Until a shiver awakens to the chill of a pale moon in the shadow of howl and scraping screech of claws across the blackboard of countless stars..... A faint tap catches the ear of a dream....a whisper flutters the lids of doze... ....nevermore.... |

Nodding against the feast of slumber, as the growl of a gut’s pit awaits the gong of twelve and hickory dickery finds the dock.. Barry, I love that part. It made me smile for some reason. I just love your writing, King Magnus, whatever you write.  Hugs  Ethel |

 (big hugggsssssss) It seems like you know every inch of Poe's house writing with his grace, dearest friend, are you sure you two aren't bloodbrothers? (smiles) This is excellent, sweet friend, you pay the greatest homage to this literature legend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |
