    Of Rats and Men

    The town is shrouded In velvety gloomWisps of fog rise to the mountain heights A flash of lightning flickers in the nightOdin's thunderous roar proclaims doom The streets are deserted, dogs barkYour windows are closed, the doors lockedYou think you're...

    • Oh my!
      I’ll not be knock on your door next Halloween.
      Maybe Christmas?

    • This is a wicked write Elke. The detail and marvelous imagery you create is executed wonderfully. Hope your Halloween was filled with magic, scares and happiness.

      • I’m really no big fan of horror movies and stories but I couldn’t resist trying my hand at this genre. You are my role model! Thank you very much for reading and writing your kínd comment, dear Keith!

    • I hear the knocking, but it can’t come in.

      • Come in, dear Adagio, there are some sweets left over. If you dare… 🤣
        Thanks a lot for reading and commenting!

    • Shreek, eeeke, eat my little furies!! BOOO!
      Men, far too many, and their deranged minds, know no end when it comes to torturing women.
      Happy Halloween….er….DO NOT ENTER, BEWARE!!
      Thanks Sappho, we be shakin’

      • Thank you very much for reading and commenting, my friend!
        How I wished these slaughters in the name of God had used their creativity on more meaningful and helpful projects than on satisfying their misogyny and there lust for power!

    • Wickedly penned, Elke. Excellent Halloween write my friend. Appreciate you.

    • A powerful and thought provoking piece, dear Damian! Puppets on the string which move to every command of the puppeteer are easily to control…
      To follow the drum of your heartbeat was a good idea! Your free rhyming flows easily and naturally!

    • Fantastic work, my friend.

    • Two verses yet they tell the whole truth…. I don’t know how the human mind and spirit will survive and deal with all these negative rushes all around and everywhere… The problem that even when You are conscious and doing what You should do, the environment around You is saying another thing, and we both know how the surrounding affects us and now we need extra extra work! Yes I do appreciate old times. Great write my friend.

    • You know, the number of poetic rants I’ve written this year alone actually depresses me. It never seems to end. Spilling their lies and spewing their hate on the daily. Everyone I know is numb and fighting fatigue from it all. I’ll keep spilling truth if you do, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I know your pain, I have that same pain. That I wrote this in the summer of 2024 and it still works today is depressing indeed. Count me in, always willing to spill the truth my friend. Kindred Spirts! Appreciate you.
