Something Wicked

Something wicked this way comes Moving in the darkness thick Evil dashing, coming quick! I smell the stench of devil's dung Something evil this way comes! Something's wicked in the air Tingling tickling at my toes In the wind around it blows! Quietly creeping everywhere Something evil's in the air! Something's wicked in my house I feel it's lurking presence there Talons, teeth, and demon's hair! Quietly creeping like a mouse Something evil's in my house! Something's wicked in my room In the shadows crouching cruel Needing flesh to grind it's gruel! To enter now would be my doom Something evil's in my room! Something's wicked drawing near Grab the Bible and the cross Show this vermin who's the boss! The Lord will take away my fear And quell the evil drawing near! Timothy I. Brumley

Timothy I've been delayed, but will be more active on. I thoroughly enjoyed 'Wicked' and its inspired me to post a poem I hope will be half as chilling. I'm gradually reading your other worthy works, YF Gene Bourne.

You can take any subject and weave a tale that fascinates. This one keeps me on my toes wondering where we go next and that is so special when telling a story!
