Night’s Children

And the Hallowe’en posts continue!

Each night they wait

By the roadside

Eyes transfixed

On the darkness

Waiting

For the children to appear

Each night they wait

In the darkness

Eyes transfixed

Listening carefully

For the night to whisper

Gently

Coldly

The children

They’re here

      Just a little, Chris.
      Mind you, the lighting doesn’t help.

    Oh wolf! Lock 🔐 your sons and daughters away! These ate not characters you want to meet whilst out playing on a darkened autumnal evening! 😱

      Not really, Icewolf.
      It’s quite lucky, actually, that they lurk in the dark, shadowed areas where not many people tend to tread. 😏

      I agree… they don’t seem the friendliest bunch, do they?
