Knights Of The Night



...

Knights of the night
we march in marsh
blight without sight
party most harsh

foul foe on prowl
we meager few
a jowled hound howls
at flanks we hew

thou understand?
we thwart notice
a canny plan
as scythes slice mice

pestilence sowed
we sneaky toads

...

Written for One Stop Poetry's Friday Poetically with Brian Miller.

  1. Whoa! This one contains some well-veiled but seriously violent images. Nice juxtaposition of concepts.

  3. Sounds like an ominous evening! Waiting for the panther and jaguar to pounce, or maybe a sneaky horde of flesh eating beatles lol

  5. Violent images indeed - but nature is cruel. We just fail to see it. We see it in ourselves.
