Jeepers creepers

 

 

In a shadow, 

so softly creeping 

I met a maiden

so softly weeping 

 

Her lovers blood

in her clothes, seeping

For, his wandering eyes

she'd took for safe keeping

Thank you Stephen! And I hope you enjoy my first attempt at a book, although I'm reformatting some of it as I'm not happy with some of the layout. But I truly appreciate you getting a copy, if nothing else it's somewhere to rest your coffee mug 😄

I think the title says it, Stephen. A great write, if a little disturbing.
Pleased to say that your book has arrived!
