Clang-a-Bang

For the Musecrafters Writing Workshop

Dance-Of-Death  by Michael Wolgemut

Clang a Bang


Clang-a-bang sounds at night
Rattling old bones.
Angry screams, howls of fright.
I'm not alone.

Footfalls loud, dancing glee.
Skeletal joy.
Are they coming for me?
Am I death's toy?

Clang-a-bang. Daring raid.
Hollow-eyed glare.
Dance of Death on parade.
My demise stares.

In dark shadows rattling.
Assembled bones.
I'm on my guard battling.
Fighting skills honed.

Clang-a-bang resistance.
Make it to light.
Ending death's insistence.
Skeletal fright.

Sunlight drowns out death wish.
Forgiveness born.
Morning dew refreshes.
Life force reborn.
