The Gathering

werewolf The roads are quiet
The night is dark
The wolves are howling out in the park
vampire The clouds are heavy
The rain is strong
The vampires will be here before too long
The time is late
The day is done
zombie You can hear the zombies having their fun
You’re safe inside
Ready to dream
Sleep and you’ll miss the banshee’s scream
The wraiths are out
The nightmares trot
It’s best to avoid this little lot
banshee But if you wake
Be prepared
A meeting of sorts has been declared…

Just the usual Saturday night around your place then.. Sir Aquatom? …. I wondered why I woke with a start halfway through a dream, but nope. nothing stirred nothing could be seen… so back into the arms of Morpheus I lay. … and didn’t wake ’til morning and a new sunlit day xx

  Pretty much so, Pen! 😀
  I slept through whilst all that was going on, and without a dream that I can remember…

A ghoulishly exciting poem Aquatom and with
the added bonus of some dark and frightening
images to go with it, now how Ghoul, I mean how
Cool is that my wicked friend? 🙂 I hope that you
survived that Gathering as it could have been a
tad bloody by the looks of some of those fiends 🙂

  Thank you, Androgoth. Yes, they do look a little on the frightening side, don’t they? I only noticed them gathering for the Gathering, I didn’t notice the Gathering itself… it appears they all let me sleep…

  Thanks, Jen, glad you liked it! Nose is now throbless, knee not so much but not as bad. I believe the ache from gardening is a good ache… I don’t garden myself, but appreciate the work others put into it!

There are some nights on which you just know this stuff is abroad, Tom, and last night was definitely one of them. I used to work at a haunted mansion…some days were fine, others far too full of event for my liking…

  Aquatom Mansion has a visitor every now and then, Kate, I’ve named her Dot but she hasn’t visited for a while… she likes my electrical things. She used to visit day or night, and I’m sure on certain nights she brought some friends with her!
  You are right… some nights are more ‘active’ than others, that’s for sure!

  I think some of them do, Shree, but they do it a little more quietly…
