All Hallows Night

All Hallows Night

It’s a dark wicked night 
When the spirits alight
From graves and tombs, to wander
Tis the brave that go out
The strong and the stout
Whose sanity they risk to squander

The ghosts and the ghouls
Are out for those fools
Who roam, for trick or for treat
With every step bidden 
Dark forces are hidden
Madness, they’re certain to meet

This is the night
Dead come out to fright
The release of the former deceased
Vengeance they seek
Mayhem to reek
Their passage to heaven increased

Heads revolving clockwise
Revenge in their eyes
To drag you down to catacombs
Once you are there
They’ll strip the soul bare
Inflict on you ten thousand dooms

So before you die
Look into the eye
Of those, that have done you wrong
Remind with a smile
You’ll be back in a while
“Hell’s waiting, I won’t be long. (Mhuahahaha)”

I believe there is a significant religious moral in this event Eileen, to remind us to be good to one another while we're here. Thank you making this exception to your rule, I appreciate your comment very much, as always

I liked what you said about the stories down here to me. sounds fun. We used to pass around body parts using food, like spagetti for the intestines and grapes for the eyes. In the dark, it is pretty disgusting!!

Pretty scary. Let me learn the mhuahahaha... So, you are the "other gentleman Richard" who deserved an acrostic from our friend Lucy! Happy to meet you in this Halloween mood...On my way to look for another piece that could sound more "gentlemanlike". (^_^) Your advice here doesn't suit much what I was looking for, at the moment! Wish you the best for the contest, for it is a very good write indeed! Blessings, Hanitra

My fave bit of the party is the story telling time, we sit round and one person kicks off with a story, they stop and the next has to carry it on and so on, it just gets crazier and crazier but great fun and really scary lol

Hi Sis, yes I like this rhyme idea myself, fits some poems well. I hope you've learnt from this not to do me wrong, much as I would love to look you in the eye, already I'm working on variations of your ten thousand dooms Mhuhaha....hahahaha
