Halloween Constanza

The witches flying overhead,
With shrieks and cackles, loop the loop;
And people scream to watch them swoop.

Respect the evening of the dead,
As zombies groan and werewolves howl,
And vampires wander on the prowl. 

The night fills human hearts with dread,
As necromancers cast a spell,
And things are creeping out from Hell.

The witches flying overhead
Respect the evening of the dead;
The night fills human hearts with dread.

For Andrea and Connie’s Constanza contest

oh, blimey, jack!!! I just had to look this one up to see who wrote it after making my placements. You wrote it perfectly but you didn't put the poem formed by all the first lines at the bottom of it all! WEll, I have to tell you You did a good job. (I found out later, too, Connie's form has to be five stanzas long. I may have told you four was acceptable but I was wrong on that) Sorry I didn't place you. I really enjoyed this one.

I was not sure if we could do fewer verses - I did four. But this makes such sense. And enough of ghoulish images to fill any night.
