Three Word Wednesday requires participants
to use the three words of the week in a composition.
The words this week were: eerie, guarded, translucent.
Devil’s Spawn
The dark is filled
With Devil’s spawn,
Eerie and provoking;
The nasty creatures
Play on you,
Until drowning,
Choking,
You fall—
Weak,
To the words they call.
Hold true!
Guarded,
If uncertain.
To the east,
A translucent dawn
Rises like a curtain.

Hopefully dawn thwarts those nasty creatures...eerie to the core...
ReplyDeleteBeen hitting the vin rouge again, have we?
ReplyDeleteSot! I can tell the difference between pink elephants and the demons of the night.
DeleteI would prefer pink elephants to demon spawn. I wonder whether a herd of elephants could rout them. Worth trying perhaps.
ReplyDeleteThere's a challenge! Pink Elephants vs Demon Spawn! The Nightmare's Handicap.
DeleteSomeone moved the ghoulposts!
DeleteVery dark - but dawn is a sign of hope, right?
ReplyDeleteRipe for one of your glorious sunrises!
Deleteevery, every, every single day that dawn rises....it's just a matter of how long you can wait for it.
ReplyDeleteYou don't know nightmares until you have been to an abattoir.
ReplyDeleteSounds rather appealing, I thought.
ReplyDeleteI'm with EC!!!
ReplyDeleteCuriously the dark woods have not been a worry for me, I think I must have a fairy godmother. Even so the dawn is still awesome and welcoming.
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for the translucent dawn to scare all of the "nasties" away.

This is very cool. Reminds me of the Night on Bald Mountain segment from Fantasia. That one always scared the hell out of me. I was a good Catholic child and very much believed in the devil, who seemed to have been brought to life on the screen.
ReplyDeleteMy entry is here.

The night has a thousand eyes which somehow close when dawn opens.
