TARANTISM

TARANTISM

Take a walk

If you dare

A shadow moves

Night creatures roam

Red glowing eyes on the watch

Keep a sharp eye out

All that are ensnared

 Frightful it is

No escape from the darkness

Trapped forevermore

Innocent blood flows

Beware of the tarantism

Shadows watch

Mists rise

Thank for explaining it Allen. I have seen you don't use http://hellopoetry.com that much. What a shame. I saw your picture. Where was it taken? You may be a child at heart but you are in truth a grow man. Lucie
