We talked about it on another poem so I thought it would make sense to repeat it here too so blather is talking jibberrish and wight is a ghoulish demonic being so I figured a Blatherwight is an entity frightening people with scary words he mutters. All silly and nonsense but I felt even meaningless words can invoke emotion and tone to a poem.
