Russell Sivey Poet Rispetto

Dark Night Church

Bats flap around the eerily dark night church
Creaking, the doors don’t quite open completely
Black cats run across your path with a great lurch
The moon is out but isn’t seen quite fully
The steeple is casting a deep purple hue
Lost souls in graveyard not knowing what to do
Frighten any passersby that come on by
And Jack-o-lanterns absorb souls where they lie

Russell Sivey

Timothy Hicks October 27, 2014 at 2:03 AM More Halloween concoctions... very nice! I don't know why but the line about lost souls in graveyard not knowing what to do, made me smile. Perhaps it was the image of long dead ghosts getting bored of the eternal wanderings next to a church. Good stuff, my friend.

Andrea Dietrich October 25, 2014 at 3:32 PM another great Halloween poem from you, Russell. so how many costume parties will you attend this season?!!

I'm the evil big bad wolf, and my wife is little red riding hood. we've done this before so we should be in good form!
