Challenge
///// Nightdwellers 'Beginning Line' Challenge (Jun 1st) /////
Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to submit a piece of literature inspired by all that is nocturnal, gothic and darkly (it can be anything from poetry to a short story) that begins… ‘SHADOWS SLUMBER AS THE SUN GOES DOWN’… Tag it #nightdwellers #beginningline. I look forward to reading all your posts…
Working Late Hours
Shadows slumber as the sun goes down
finally punching out their cards at work
As they're heading home
Darkness is finally rolling in
Night is a sleazy old man
Crusted with grim from unholy ways
With not a worry for his victims
Sticking from all the trouble he makes
The shadows are happy to see him
Their jobs are just the same
To hide the things most distressing
To provide cover for the unclean
Night is vengeful towards the day
Who is much more pretentious
Mocking her beautiful light
He must ruin all that he touches
He takes pleasure in his work
No one so proud of sin as he
He slinks around all over the world
And grins as he sees
All of the terrible very bad things
He lets happen under his wings
