Example #1: War Path
Fractured wanderer leaving a tortured city, hammocked insecurely.
Quenched of thirst for blood, he may now respect beauty, unappreciated 'fore.

Example #2: Disturbing Raven
Dark clouds cloak the night; chilly winds creak gnarled branches, grasping as bony fingers.
Disturbed Raven squawks at frightened children - screaming, then laughing - they throw him treats.

Example #3: October 31st
Ghosties and goblins Witches, black cats and broomsticks, All Hallows Eve comes tonight.
Children coming by arms out calling trick or treat Hall-o-ween ghosts and goblins.
