Member Poem

Dark and deep silence a canvass
or disguise  beneath metal black ink sky
I whisper to myself about intrigue
which might erupt into invisible cacophonies
after midnight  omen ice-rim sighs
bright spark lumen globe this sentry
on perioheral hair-raising  night watch
observant spooky glow post  solemn
but visual peer gazer blind side to
that vacuum setting,  ghosts of nought and crosses
yet unseen for wee small hour universe
one basks in rebound footsteps caged
by their own evanescent halo
charcoal shadows impishly toss otherworld secrets
dead nocturne hush, witching hour eventide of void
image-prone stifle upon quirky quietude
where gothic picture lull maybe 
squint-window fandangle prescience,
to Edgar Allen peephole when macabre
instinct sixth sense hoists a dim plot
