Sickle Moon

Grim’s blade incised a moon,
Ornate lambent zombie hewn
Atop starkly skeletal trees
Arctic wafts, frigid breeze

Jaundice Orbis eyes aglow
 Yonder macabre murder of crow
Twilight crept impishly aground
Crickets chortle ghoulish sound

Ides of March blustery show
Shadows fornicate in virginal snow
Too hostile for man or beast
Fodder for a chilly feast

Reaper dons famished grin
Cordially bids kinsfolk in
Taunted by keen sickle cast
Mortal endurance shan’t last
