Ghoulish Monster's Night

Walking in the dark ghostly night During the black stillness of twilight Into the forest of superstitious fear Burning eyes through you do sear A fuliginous mist hung in the air Obscured things that werent there Atmosphere held a sinister feel Fueling fears how will you deal Secrets held on this eves hallow Bodies hid in graves so shallow Sending through you such chills Behind the spooky haunted hills When you hear a thumping sound Jumping in fright you turn around Thinking this could be your ending Doomed feelings now are pending Screeching screams of night owls Werewolves deep guttural growls Make your skin feel it's crawling Leaving you there standing bawling ~No one escape from life alive you see~ So stay at home and you'll be free ~Even the dead tell stories of fright~ On this Ghoulish monsters night
"No one escapes from life alive" ~Michael Crichton~ "Even the dead tell stories" ~Marcus Sedgwick~ Haha my sad attempt at scary!;)

Certainly perfect for "All Souls Eve", Poetess. Not something you would wish to read prior to setting off for home down evil lanes leading into deep, dark woods, when having to walk through, some dismal Winters night that's for sure. Lol Lots of warm hugs to help speed you quickly and safely back. :) john
