Dark Shadows Of Night

Dark shadows of night
lingering
somewhere at the tree tops
Night birds call
as the darkness descends
In the air a gloomy chill
creating mists that coil and drift
above the cold hard ground
A haunting voice echoes skyward
mingling with the cries of the night birds
Coyotes sing and yap eerily
Dark shadows of night
deepening
dawn is a long way away

Very creepy and frightening. Don't think I want to run in that place. Great job on this, vivid descriptions.

[Star Wolf]

This is really spooky, I don't think I could walk here at night. It would just creep me out the way you describe it! Awesome!

I love the mixtures of sounds and images in this dark and mysterious poem. Coyotes, night birds, dark shawdows, tree tops. The ending was wonderful too. An eery poem that gave me the chills.
