A Poem by Emily Shade

A dark wind rent the void,
The beasts were gaunt and feared;
A void, as of a corpse's barrow,
Hid graveyard from view.

The specters screamed on the graves
And screamed in the void,
And shook their daggers and gnashed their teeth,
And threatened with their strange claws.

The midnight vile, the creatures arose;
The creature's broken eyes
Turned slowly to his loathed crypt,
And loathing was victorious!
