Midnight Forest

The tree was made of ghostly white bones with leaves like golden talons.
On the forest floor, there was a foul, filthy substance.
The moon illuminated the blanket of dull stars.
The wolves broke the everlasting silence with a howl.
The colourless moonflower bloomed at the blackest hour.
The midnight darkness hugged the gloomy forest.
