When Rodents Roam.....
When daylight falls upon this cursed crust.
The moon take over duty for the nightlight lust.
From shadows they emerge into it's dusty glow.
Things no sunlight will not ever grow.
Disfigured, disdained, creatures of the dark.
Storybook creations that make the local dogs bark.
This is their time to walk the blackened street.
While in bed the every day folk are fast asleep.
From bins and gardens they take their nightly fill.
Waste for us is their al a carte menu grill.
They scurry out of sight when a late car makes it home.
But soon re appear and continue the nightly roam.
When dawn breaks out its time to take their leave.
But in twenty four, a return they'll make, upon the next days,
Eve.....

Very good dark write. They are there in the dark - as am I - be wary!
Thank you GF60
spooky poem x
Thank you Kevin..
you're welcome, my friend x
You verse their activities so well here P.H. - I once read that rats are the world's most successful animal and no wonder when bins are so full of throw-away waste.
Thank you so much Fay
I found this fascinating . Maybe because of the topic or the way it was presented but it definitely stirred my interest .
Thank you swingline
Sadly rats give other rodents an undeserved bad reputation. Great write PH
Totally agree Michael
Thank you..
Love it when ideas come like that, the sound of a car and the dog bark registered in that creative side of your brain and voila, the car and dog appear in a creative piece. Think of the journey, outside your home, to your brain and now on paper, saying nothing of the rats. Don't forget to set out traps tonight. Great write.
Thank you for that
Brilliant comment
Augustus...
