A ten-line poem I wrote for a class assignment a few years back.
The murky darkness blankets all
Where the clouded shadows fall
Senses robbed, trembling with fright
I stumbled through the starless night
Twisted trees creaked sorrowful tales
Their brethren joined in shrieking wails
I pulled the cloak around me near
To drive away my growing fear
But suddenly, before my widened eyes,
From beneath the clouds the moon did rise.
The murky darkness blankets all
Where the clouded shadows fall
Senses robbed, trembling with fright
I stumbled through the starless night
Twisted trees creaked sorrowful tales
Their brethren joined in shrieking wails
I pulled the cloak around me near
To drive away my growing fear
But suddenly, before my widened eyes,
From beneath the clouds the moon did rise.
