Shriek (WOTDC)

~ JezzieG

Inspired by Word of the Day Challenge – thank you, Cyranny

Definition: Shriek – n. a high-pitched piercing cry or sound; a scream

Synonyms: scream, screech, squeal, squawk, roar, howl, bellow, bawl

Form: Pathya Vat 1

outside echoes
a squealing sound
I look around
and see no-one
another screech
is it distress
or something less
I just don’t know
I look again
and hear the scream
in moonlight’s beam
foxes in love

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
