Suddendeath poem challenge: Hidden things

Centralia, Missouri
April 4, 2020 6:49am CST
Here is the next week's poem challenge, as promised! Rules as always: use the 5 listed words. Try to write in under an hour or in one sitting, whatever is less, to quash your inner editor. Post this on YOUR page, I want you to earn monies from this, but reply with a link so I can see your work too! Here are your words:story, motley, hidden, walk, teeth Below is my submission: (note, this is meant to be read aloud) Hidden things walk the world, away from seeing eyes. With their claws and wings a’furled, I oft can hear their cries. Gods and ghosts n’spirits too, Around me in the world. Motley bunch they accrue As round life they do curl. Ask them why they are here A story they may tell, or perhaps disappear, only here for a spell. Hidden things walk the world, away from seeing eyes. With their limbs and teeth a’furled, Shh, and hear their cries.

Why thank you! Sometimes the words have themes. I will admit, I already had a stanza of this poem needing to be written. It was echoing in my head, so I kinda had that in mind.

@Jessicalynnt Link it? When you wake up, pretty please explain that in a simple manner. Not sure if I did that or not.
