Bell's On the Wind

Bits and pieces
	bits and pieces
shattered ground writhes with the moon
soft the dirt still
	wet and warm
too soon
	too soon
		too soon

torn nails shred the bell cord
tin the sound in wind wails tinkle, tinkle

the might of death, a spasms rise
no heart beat but a curse
arise, arise, on full moon’s pull
to feed a need
a zombie hull


Bits and pieces
	bits and pieces
shattered ground writhes with the moon
soft the dirt still
	wet and warm
too soon
	too soon
		too soon

no smile, no scream, no blush the rose
arm thrust horror births
skin with bits of cloth
stand now, bone bare in places
long in tooth
to feed
to feed
the Blood Moon’s Curse


Bits and pieces
	bits and pieces
shattered ground writhes with the moon
soft the dirt still
	wet and warm
too soon
	too soon
		too soon
wait not, want not, run and hide
for hunger never ending rises
death but not
pain and hell
cursed they rise
	too soon.

A very elegant, yet creepy poem, Debbie! I really love this one! It reminded me of "The Premature Burial", by Edgar Allan Poe. I think I will add this to my favorites!...Thank you so much for all of the wonderful comments. I really do appreciate it!

Scary zombie poem Debbie, very creepy and full of imagery. Thanks for the feedback, I was afraid that I had missed a direction or two on the ghazal,will make changes.

Dear Debbie - Now this is why I never go to horror movies. This poem does not need the screen to bring upon me the creepy creeps. "skin with bits of cloth stand now, bone bare in places" I'm staying out of grave yards. Remember that when I'm gone. (although I guess I'm in no danger if I'm already dead) lvoe, Kathy
