Phantasms (GoB #4)

* a pantoum in iambic tetrameter

Beware the shadows in the night.

Watch out for shapes with hungry eyes

and movements at the edge of sight,

with voices that can mesmerize.

Watch out for shapes with hungry eyes,

the curse in their demonic gaze

with voices that can mesmerize

and faces cloaked in darkened haze.

The curse in their demonic gaze,

these phantoms carry evil goals

and faces cloaked in darkened haze

have power to consume your soul.

These phantoms carry evil goals

and movements at the edge of sight

have power to consume your soul.

Beware the shadows in the night!
