On Halloween Night

On Halloween Night As in the darkened chambers they slowly dressed becoming beings that scared even themselves - witches, zombies, vampires, werewolves, full moon tressed gathering in dimming light amid the smells concealing within a graveyards silent night the sights that silence the hallowed eves church bells. Serpent-like they move veiled from denials sight, apparitions at each unsuspecting door, moving in the shadows - fearful of the light. Shadow creatures endless quest for more of more, end their roaming at first sign of yawning dawn, counting pieces of their booty on the floor. Crawl away to distant dens with curtains drawn as the howls of distant demons fade to morn. 9/8/2014 for Gail Angel Doyle – On Halloween Night – Poetry Contest
