COME WITH ME IN THE NIGHT

"Come with me," said the arctic fox to his silvery corvidae friend,"Let us wander 'neath the tundra moon and watch the snow descend.Together we can haunt the night, as lonely as two ghosts,leaving no trace as we pass, with shadows of morose."

"Come with me," said the silver crow to his ghostly vulpine friend,"Let us wander where the trees have gone and into clouds ascend.Together we can hunt the night, you kill and I shall reap,and all shall fear to hear our song call in the twilight sleep."

It Rhymed in My Sleep

There was a tunnel in the basement
It was dank and dark and deep
and no one knew for surequite how far it went

The only thing for certain
was a being in the deep
My reflection starring at me from the dark

This poem was composed while I was asleep on a plane from New York to Scotland. It was written on the back of a receipt for peanuts. I remember that t rhymed when I was sleeping but not when I woke up. I have no memory of writing it but it's my handwriting and I do remember buying the peanuts.
