Harbingers of Unimagined Horrors

November 3, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is Halloween, which was celebrated on October 31.

Today’s poem summons the spirits for Halloween.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Harbingers of unimagined horrors,

Avatars of those who rule the night,

Lurking in the shallows of our shadows

Like fish that lack the lungs to breathe the light;

Omens from an almanac of sorrows

Written on a midnight long ago,

Etched into the mirrors of our marrows,

Ever masks for what we dare not know:

Now revel with us till the cocks thrice crow!
