All Hollows Eve

Gravestones in the park Scary place when its dark Empty plots marked by string Morbid figures trying to sing Pretty flowers dead or trying Grace the path on which their lying Scripted rocks with glowing paints Must not be read if hearts are faint withered corpses dance around acting like their little clowns comical yet scary too watching the dead say goodbye to you creepy vermin upon the plot waiting for the next corpse to drop swirls of fog blocking view keeps you wondering what corpses do so entranced by the game they play leaves you lost, yet afraid to say digging shovels stand erect positioned so as to protect mounds of dirt piled 6ft high to bury the corpses when they die because wild wolves like tasty bones and drag corpse souls far from home so as we know and always will unburied bones are never still Halloween Challenge Poetry Contest Emile Pinet 11/02/2020
