terrifying night,
thin, the veil, deathly still,
calm before the storm

For Ronovan Writes Haiku Challenge, prompt words: Night and Spooky/Terrifying
in the gloaming gloom
candlewicks charred from past trysts
yearn to be consumed
with no dread of ashy death
the flame’s fervid kiss is life

A Tanka for Colleen Chesebro’s Tuesday Poetry Challenge. This week with a twist…to use synonyms of the promptwords: Fright/Dread and Night/Gloaming.
she is not broken
by darkness
she embraces the
magic of the night
she is woman
wild as the day
she was born

Magnetic Poetry Poet Kit
o, how i could linger
here listening to you
breathe, but morning
comes to devour the
magic of the night…
remember though…some
days call for dancing

(Magnetic Poetry ~ Poet’s Kit)
the breeze is sweetened by the rain
as bulbous drops on petals cling
beneath a starless sky, brushed gray
night is hovering on the wing
in the gloaming street lights flicker
glowing amber mist descending
shadows loom as fog grows thicker
night is hovering on the wing
gather round for bedtime fables
rock-a-bye hush, the children sing
stay awake if you are able
night is hovering on the wing
