“The Forbidden Place by Stewart Stafford Bypass the chateau on the hill, For, as dusk falls, horrors creep, Griffins and gargoyles fly and flay, And grotesque statues come alive. Badinage becomes shrieks and roars, Shrill warnings for the straying and foolish, Cats as big as panthers stalk and slay, As their homicidal master flogs their fur. Wandering werewolves fetch human bones, A savage rampage beneath a Hunter's Moon, As the dawn routine reasserts its dominance, Denizens of night bathe in darkness's arms. © Stewart Stafford, 2022.

The Forbidden Place by Stewart Stafford
Bypass the chateau on the hill,
For, as dusk falls, horrors creep,
Griffins and gargoyles fly and flay,
And grotesque statues come alive.
Badinage becomes shrieks and roars,
Shrill warnings for the straying and foolish,
Cats as big as panthers stalk and slay,
As their homicidal master flogs their fur.
Wandering werewolves fetch human bones,
A savage rampage beneath a Hunter's Moon,
As the dawn routine reasserts its dominance,
Denizens of night bathe in darkness's arms.
