Oh, your vivid description leaves me feeling a bit unsettled about Death knocking too soon.........hopefully not for some time yet! We live in hope! LOL.
This hit me on this cold rainy day and now a cold rainy night. Made me want to fix a cup of hot cocoa and pull out my teddy bear to clutch and feel assured. Hopefully Mother Death will be a lonnnnng time coming!
Ah, on those windy, rainy nights we are so often reminded of what we really don't care to think about!
ReplyDeleteNice to see you here at the Pantry, Victoria!
Your use of sound is very effective here - i think many will be able to relate to similar feelings on rainy October nights
ReplyDeleteIt really pleases me that you liked the use of sound because that was my intention here - a sound poem.
DeleteSuch an effective verse..!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Deleteah well , all things must pass
ReplyDeleteOh yes... I feel that a night when the branches knock on the window is a that message from the man in the black cloak..
ReplyDeleteYes, the man in the black cloak. I see a female death, which I know is against convention, definitely with the black cloak.l
DeleteAlone on a stormy night and it's play time for our fears....
ReplyDeleteAh. How we realize that there's something that can intrude within the four walls of our safe haven.
ReplyDeleteNicely penned.

ReplyDeleteYes Toni - hopefully she will be a long time coming. And I hope you found comfort with cocoa and bear.
Deletegood sound effects!
ReplyDeletedon't worry, the black cloaked man(or woman) with the scythe is taking shelter from the storm too. :)
I love your image of death taking shelter.
DeleteYes, indeed. Ghost stories aside, there are the real fears.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the walls pushing back. Short and effective.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm glad you like the image. .
DeleteWe never know tomorrow but we sure can expect it. It's not too soon dear. Stay with us awhile,okay?
