Notes About The Poem

Written 10/24/2023

Dreadful and Dark Halloween Night

Graves of many, dreadful dark and spooky.
Spiders hung and swayed a little kooky.
Pumpkins fierce howling red glow.
Walking-dead knock blow-by-blow.
Black wild cat moved its tail slightly fluky.

Dracula went out dressed as cranky Grinch.
Drank few too many got into tight pinch.
By foot dangled the mayor,
Threw him over conveyor.
Towns people came around with rope to lynch.

Dark and spooky, yet lighthearted and fun, much like Halloween itself ... So well done, my friend :)

A definite must for a night of trick or treating when Feddy Krueger knocks on your door. Don't forget a bag of peanuts. I think he likes those. Photograph is just as amazing as the poem.

Woah, this is definitely a very dreadful and dark Halloween, gosh! Your descriptions are haunting with eerie and gothic vibes, perfectly creating a spine chilling ambience for the reader.. Also, the imageries and theme, ah, so impeccably done for Halloween.. The rhymes are really captivating too! "Pumpkins fierce howling red glow. Walking-dead knock blow-by-blow." And that opening line too, sooo scary!!
