Halloween

silenced 
he stood there
knife in hand

music 
eerily 
in the background

darkness
wore his soul

the children 
were afraid
as blood dropped 
like rain 
from his blade

You could easily write free verse that could be used in a movie sound track rather than music - Andrea's rhyming poems (some of them obviously) were used just that way in a film making the independent film rounds now. You painted the horror to easily pop full blown in my mind's eye. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

I saw in one of your comment replies today that you said Jason was standing at the gate of your place of business this morning. I'll bet that was creepy. Loved your poem and I kind of thought that is where it came from. Happy Halloween Sandy.

We had a coworker being creepy this morning and yeah I think I posted it in a comment to you. We were just all talking about it at the elementary school and the poem came to me :). Thank you my friend ... hugs
