About This Poem
Dark Woods
Dark Woods
Twenty years ago the people of the town buried a maniac murderer in the woods
A big stone without a name rests over his grave
Perhaps to remind everyone the evil that once stood
An evil that has no boundaries, no shame
They made sure his body was burned from head to toe
Leaving nothing but his ashes left to bury in the ground
Did that really rid his dark soul?
Or got him mad enough for him to one day come back around
It’s Halloween night and a group of teenagers decide to go camping in the woods
They knew about the legend of the maniac being buried there
Curiosity enticed them to party where evil stood
But little did they know that his spirit still remained dark in its lair
The night began to grow dark and windy leaving shadows under a full moon
The fire they made was burning embers of fears through their bones
The night suddenly grew eerily quite out of the blue
All of a sudden they heard footsteps and felt they were no longer alone
They heard twigs snapping in two and movement by their tent sides
They started to hear someone whisper that creepy song
The song that the maniac murderer would whistle before someone dies
Then eerily, a cold wind blew at them so violent and strong
Knowing they were in danger they began to run through the woods paths
Heading towards the way where they vehicles stood
But when they finally got there they found themselves in his wrath
All their tires were slashed and the wires were all taken out under their hoods
Their cell phones couldn't hold any signals to call for help
They all stood there in a circle looking around them desperately hoping for a rescue
But what they couldn't realize was that they were already in hell
The ground underneath them began to open up in hell’s fiery hue
They hear that song in a whistle from the ground below
As they try to run the ground becomes cook sand, sinking them all in
The atmosphere soon fills up with their dying echoes
In the dark woods, where the townspeople said it buried the devil’s kin
What are you standing over? Happy Halloween!!
