Poetry Corner: Snow Phantoms

Snow PhantomsUnder the moon on a clear nightSilhouetted in the starry lightPhantoms spring up, out of the ground,I tarry, haunted by the sight.Wraith-like wisps dancing to and fro,Sliding through the darkness they goFlitting through imagination;And prancing patterns on the snow.Voiceless words hanging in the air,Phantom cries catch me unaware,Howls fill the sky, riding the windEchoing all around, a dare.They enchant me, tempt me to stay,But they also warn me away;Lean and hungry, the green eyes glare,I leave the phantoms to the day.
