Not long having walked in the dark
Through a place so few would dare
A dangerous place grim and stark
A place where a foul scent fills the air
Hungry wild beasts ever out to mangle
And break you upon cold grey stones
So pass with care through this tangle
Or have marrow scraped from your bones
Out of shadows deep they do come
Their savage growls rule the night
Chilling enough to make you numb
A terrible evil and ancient fright
The vultures circle above their dens
A foul scent now fills the night air
Upon good woodcraft your life depends
So pass through this tangle with care
Dark Tangle

Re: Dark Tangle
Good poem. I'm used to the urban jungle but nature, not just human nature, has a bloody claw. Did you ever read "Pilgrim At Tinker's Creek"? That's one of my favorite books.

Nice to meet you mnaz and theirishsea.
Never read Pilgrim at Tinker's Creek, but will look into it.

Re: Dark Tangle
love the jungle- more gentle than people- aloha rules the islands=but this is a nice write
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---
