Creepy Silhouettes

Those CREEPY SILHOUETTES are back DESCENDING upon my safe place They're WALKING around in the darkness But, they're LIVING in the open They are re-igniting the DREAD Again and again, as they move Around the corners closing in When they move, they cackle loudly They're celebrating HALLOWEEN Watch out when they form a circle It is their way of trapping you All you will feel is the dark GLOOM In time, you will forget all light Places haunted, you least expect Be ready, for yours may be next! Heidi Sands 10/25/22 Placed 10th in the Halloween Poetry Contest. Sponsor: Emile Pinet Words Required: Creepy, Silhouettes, Descending, Walking, Living, Open, Dread, Halloween, Gloom 8 Syllables.

They are subtle evil ways into the soul, the costumes and glutenous sweets. Devil knows how to play. Would I forbid the holiday could I?-No. An excellent opportunity for parents to teach higher values.

You weaved the given words seamlessly into this rendering of creepy silhouettes, Heidi. I like the haunted warning at the end. Apt for the theme.
