a Cold Night (here)
10 of 12 given words:
approach lane lights pin spare
release wonder split star gutter
Uneasy approach to a dark lane
Street lights only at strategic places
Just enough to side-step the gain
To pin hopes for a safe passage
Not to take unnecessary risks
Sieze the privilege of an upper hand
Spare oneself of unwarranted grief
Secure a release in any event
One need not have to wonder
Just split easy to get unstuck
Stars above will help to ensure
Avoid the gutter it's tough luck

Loved the read Hank. I don't go out after dark these days.
ReplyDeleteHappy Festive Season.
Yvonne.
Coming from India ,the fear is all too real.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas
I remember this - well expressed Hank! Fortunately, up here in North Norfolk, our country lanes still feel quite safe.
ReplyDeleteOh that gutter! Treacherous in the dark...gets worse when it rains!
ReplyDeleteTakes me back to the fears of childhood.
ReplyDeleteSometimes best to take the long way and avoid straying within.
ReplyDeleteHopes for a safe passage indeed, Hank, through this old world.
ReplyDeletelove the poem
ReplyDeleteIts better to take the long road rather than to become lost in the allure of the short. Excellent write, Hank!
ReplyDeleteI try to avoid those passages nowadays... or probably stay inside. :-)
