O Dark Hundred Mesonxin Nightmares

at 0 dark hundred
approaches us
mesonoxian nightmares
are unleashed
as the wild things
come out to play
haunting one’s nightmares
until the dawning sun
blasts them back
to the hellhole
they crawled out


Another weird word for something common!


OBSCURE WORD OF THE DAY!



Today's word is mesonoxian.

While it looks like the name of a rejected Transformer, it is an adjective that means, "pertaining to midnight". Think the mesonoxian howl of the lone werewolf echoes across the dark vale.

Your challenge today is to use mesonoxian in a story or poem


note: O dark hundred is military jargon for the time of day in the middle of the night, just before dawn when special forces and intel folks get ready for dawn operations. Depending upon the area and time of year it is typically between 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. for me, I get nightmares at o dark hundred!
