In the darkness they will wait
for the fool to take their bait. Drawn to them by childlike crying soon they prey upon the dying. Moving lightly upon the breeze mini-lanterns among the trees. Heed my warning, listen clear, be not brave, but run in fear. They play their games laughing wild have you believe their just a child. Evil lanterns of the night stay away from their light Keep your distance, heed my rhyme Daylight came... Just in time! - A short poem I wrote ages ago. I know it's a tad dark and sinister, but I had just read the fairy tales about Will'o Wisps. They were described as mini-lanterns that would lure people into the swamp. These evil little creatures would hover above a drop off, or some other hazard and curious individuals would soon find themselves victims of the swamp. Tried to keep the poem as close to what I'd read as I could, but added the "child-like crying"

Ah, as I said, wrote it ages ago... some parts I've since forgotten (need to find my original LOL)... the original poem I wrote was MUCH longer :P...
Although I've gotta say, shorter isn't necessarily less LOL... |

I keep saying that I'll get back to writing soon, but never seem to get around to it LOL... Since I'm trying to re-capture myself I may have some future inspirations... keep in touch LOL... |

Then again, I mostly write short stories :P...
One reason I wrote this poem was as an introduction to a story idea I had, but I ended up liking the poem better than the short story LMAO |

Reminds me of the swamp getting to Mordor the back way with Frodo, Sam, and Gollum and Gollum hissing in his perturbed tone, "Don't fol----low the liiii-ghts!" after he hauls Frodo's curious butt out of the water. Nicely done!
