 Midnight Hour Graveyard howls fogged over wolf bark shadows ... ghosts ... legends in the dark Wisping winds lending heart of fear branches skewn tapping, tapping, stepping to the rear Clouded visions harvest moons alley cats sing in rain screaming moaning as would a baby's pain Screeches of bats hoots of owls jewels of eyes that gleem staring winking Is this what it seems A muffled knock creaking hinges set to draw tears of joy flock fear anxiety disappeared with bells of clock Mark Bohannan  [This message has been edited by Mark Bohannan (edited 10-28-2000).] |

Mark, now that's it I'm off to hide in the cupboard again. Ooooooooh what was that, I'm off. Great poem my friend, really great, and the graphics are fantastic. I do like this, I really do. Now all I've got to do is find someone who knows how to keep the spooks away!! Take care, Marsha  Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

There is something about that midnight hour especially at this time of year time seems to stop with the loud bong of the clock striking midnight, creatures roam about and black cats come from everywhere and have you noticed the full moon lately anyways as you see I loved it Mark so creative in words and in graphics you my man know how to capture us in the moment. My hats off to you! |

Mark, I don't want to play with spooks, it would be fine except that I don't know any spooky games. Let them go and play in the orchard, they can throw apples at each other. All I want is someone to keep them away from me, do you know anyone? Well if you do send them around! Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Kit-Thank you. It was a different style for me as you know but I do like to try new things once in awhile. Hugs to you my friend. Marsha-Awe, don't be afraid of them. They just like to have fun you know. As long as you don't mind getting slimed a little and going home with a few small marks on your neck then what the heck. Go one, give it a go, they really are aren't too bad. LOL... |

Mark, well that's it you see, I do mind being slimed, and as for marks on my neck, well!! So come Tuesday night, I'm staying as far away as I can from any spooks, goblins, witches, gouls, and any combination of them you care to name. Now where do I get my protection from, and whom do I pay, because I know it's going to cost me. MMmmmm? Ohhhhhhhh my! oh my! oh my! Marsha Save me save me save me Marsha said Or those spooks Will scare me dead Come, come Marsha You come to me I'll set you free Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
