Beware the Hollow (Footle Fright)

Beware
the frights

Hollow
night calls

Chilling
Blood screams

Silent 
heart cries

Weary
beings...


Ghoulish
tears stream...

Crimson,
cut-throats...
  
Come see
heads roll....

Ka-thunk,
Ka-thunk...

Evil's
a--foot!

Oh No ~
must Go...





This Halloween piece is written for Donna Golden's Footle Fright Contest

Had to chuckle at the end. I like how the short lines lend drama. Sounds scary to me. Keep on writing!!! Thank you for your kind words on my poem. Karen
