Russell Sivey Poet Terzanelle

Frightening Place

Fog enhances this place of intense fright
Pumpkins litter the yard with all their strength
The path is obscured having little light

Shadows are formed increasing in their length
Hearing only the noises of ghosts near
Pumpkins litter the yard with all their strength

Candles are lit within each window here
The moon escapes the scene, being clouded
Hearing only the noises of ghosts near

Witches brew will kill, it is not doubted
Lanterns sway in the fog, not quite shining
The moon escapes the scene, being clouded

The werewolves here are waiting for dining
Waiting for lost souls that will travel by
Lanterns sway in the fog, not quite shining

This place is spooky and that is no lie
Fog enhances this place of intense fright
Waiting for lost souls that will travel by
The path is obscured having little light

Russell Sivey

Funom Makama June 4, 2015 at 10:51 AM What a marvelous read from a blessed paged built on lines constructed with the lyrics of the skies and words well supported by dynamic foamy clouds. Message well expressed! No doubt an absolute 7##.

Carol Eastman October 28, 2014 at 11:06 AM You've really done well on your Haloween poems this year. I read them all. Happy Halloween!

Sara Kendrick October 25, 2014 at 1:22 PM Another creative Halloween work that you enjoy writing..Thanks for stopping by..In magazines there are ads for fragrances and there is a folded flap with a sample of the scent in the flap..I was speaking of rubbing some of that on as I walked out the door because that scent is so high that will be the only way I could wear it..Anyway I am very sensitive to scents and most give me a headache..This one did not but who knows if the real thing would cause me grief..Thanks for the visit..Sara

Richard Lamoureux October 25, 2014 at 9:21 AM One of my favorite forms, a masterfully frightful write!

Debra Squyres October 25, 2014 at 7:47 AM Each scene enhanced by the fog... I see them clearly. Well done !!!

Timothy Hicks October 24, 2014 at 5:42 PM You had all the fixings for a good Halloween night - beautifully laced together. I was halfway expecting it'd get even darker and you'd mention druids as well! But it's rather eerie enough I'd say. Well penned!
