A Cacophony Poem

Night Sounds

by kiwisteveh

Cacophony Poem Contest Winner 


As heartbeat pounds at eerie sounds
     and soughing breezes' soulful sighing
     stirs up our fears to sobs and tears,
     there comes a sound to set God crying.

Was that an owl with deathly howl
     or Satan's snarling, screeching minion?
     Unearthly calls and brawling squalls
     enshroud the Devil's dark dominion.

The banshee screaks and growls and shrieks
     a fatal portent howled in warning,
     and bleakest dreams with clamorous screams
     mean Death shall toll the bell of mourning.
