Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
As evening shadows fill darkening hollows,
a phantom form takes the dark and follows,
under gloomy eaves and forest dripping,
his ghostly presence vague yet gripping,
the nightly hunter silent tracks his prey,
deadly assassin strikes then fades away,
gone upon his unexpected prowl,
the whispering death, ephemeral owl.
