DMC: "Night Cries" by Jan Gars




Night Cries

 Haunting cries that pierce the blackness
Calls for mate the 
Whip-o
Will.
Cloak of darkness
Covers
Hill.
Winds are calm and
Life is 
Still.

    Love the mood you create with this one, Jan! I can hear the cries and breathe the stillness... you've got me on the edge of my seat.

    I am getting so intimidated by the examples you've shown thus far. I'm not sure I'm up to the task!

    Whip-o-will on the hill is still. Ah! Love the sounds of this zeno.

    Like others, I love the mood you set. In just these few words, a story.
