About This Poem

Halloween Nightmare

    "Halloween Nightmare"



spooky silhouettes
encircle haunted castle
midnight chimes undead.

moonlight weaves silk web
coffins creaking eerily
fangs hunger for flesh.

wolves prowl echoing
witches swoop on straw broomsticks
ghosts glide on fright night.

magic spells enchant
beware! death looms chirps black crow
shadows lurk and lure.

misty night invades
dreams of trick or treat escape
Halloween Nightmare!


*For Tracie's Spooky Ku Contest.

    Sketching so masterly such a scary scene is possible only from the crafted pen of Linda Marie. You have almost created a scene with sound and music. If you produce a film it would definitely be applauded by horror lovers and would win great prizes. So would win your contest entry. My good wishes for your entry and thank you for your precious comments on my poem and many thanks for pointing me the word wrongly typed by me. Love and best wishes always...Ravindra..SH LMB
