Shadows seem dead
but there is life within
The serpent crawls
dark fire it breathes
Listen as the crows laugh
for this night shall stay
Tarantula's farewell
venomous kisses
Midnight's silent gaze
as the scorpion stings
Hide the moon
the wings of the bat
Forbid the stars to shine
echoes the owl's chant

Withoit darkness we cannot appreciate light. Having seen pettiness of some men, we long fir someone to make the change. When he comes we are sure, our prayers have been granted. But what's tge readin for this dark mood?
Kostas, this is your most recent work, and it is from more than two years ago. Are you all right? Here's wishing the best for you.
Kostas, dear friend, let us hope and pray for a refined tomorrow free fom the shadows of venomous creatures
I cite your two last lines, dear Kostas: 'Forbid the stars to shine echoes the owl's chant' Indeed BLACK. TOP Marks for this cute poem. I have enjoyed tremendously!
Kostas, friend, how are you? I was away from poetry wring as you appear to be now.
Because of evil darkness that lurks within the night! The moon does not shine but hides her lights!

Kostas, I kind of like this, but 'WHERE'S MY FLASHLIGHT! ! ? ? ' I once moved a tarantula, I'd found in New Mexico, several hundred feet in its native habitat, but later thought I may have moved it too far from its home. ; (
