Ghouls of the Night

The village clock struck midnight
Full moon,high in the sky
shutters on windows slam closed
As a dark soul wanders by
The cemetery comes to life
ghoulish creatures play 
night time is our play time
We have no need for day
creaking sound of garden gates 
witches on broomsticks fly
ghouls and goblins do their dance
Headless coachman passes by
A cockerel in the farmyard crows
The mood begins to change
creatures of the night move on 
And the village starts to wake
Well be back tonight,they say 
For the night is ours to take

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
