Darkness Walking

It moves, a formless form in thickened mists The chilling touch of ghouls, "Creepy" and foul "Silhouettes" clinging as the "Dread" persists "Halloween" summoned by "Descending" howls The chilling touch of ghouls, "creepy" and foul Demonic hands "Open" from shadows gaunt "Halloween" summoned by "descending" howls As "Darkness" "Walking" on a moonlit haunt Demonic hands "open" from shadows gaunt Where evil spirits rise with ruby eyes As "Darkness" "Walking" on a moonlit haunt In hungry "Gloom", "Living" on light's demise Where evil spirits rise with ruby eyes "Silhouettes" clinging as the "dread" persists In hungry "gloom", "living" on light's demise It moves, a formless form in thickened mists 10/30/22

Ooh, scary without being gory. "Darkness walking on a moonlit haunt" summons all kinds of fear in me. Great imagery!

I really enjoyed this. I wrote a pantoum once and it sort of evoked a broader voice in me that I was unaware of before writing it. Your poem has a similar ambience to the one I wrote, so I really felt captivated by this one. It is spooky and wicked, as if it were a spell.
