The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

As usual these days, I choose blog format because it offers more space for the work.

Unfamiliar Territory

Out there in the wilds
where the trees and the grass hold sway
the midnight trail shines ghostly
in the light of the vagrant moon.

Hasten on your way homeward, traveller,
for out here the spirits are ancient
creatures of the open sky
without thought of house and home.



Line count: 8
Free verse
For Express It In Eight, 10.28.25
Prompt: Write a poem about walking a spooky rural road around midnight.
