Malabika Ray Choudhury Poet Rhyme

Halloween Fright

Eerie Midnight …walking through a field,
                          find three witches asking me to yield,
                       around a cauldron abominable they look,
                  Wonder what they're brewing following their book!

                            Are there a lizard's leg, toe of a frog
                             Fillet of a snake, tongue of a dog!
                             A frightful castle on top of the hill,
                       Who lives there, Dracula …I shiver with chill.

                      An uncanny mysterious moon shines so bright,
                     silhouettes of ghosts and goblins wander in sight.
                  Hear deadly werewolves howling and gnashing teeth,
                     I dread this menacing night, I hardly can breathe.

                      I screamed in terror, the witches signalled to me, 
                     I stumbled in sheer panic, they wouldn't let me free. 
                      
                     Ohhh…gosh..what a nightmare of Halloween night,
                      Ghoulish things will disappear with morning light!

Valsa George November 2, 2022 at 8:39 AM The three witches of Macbeth and their simmering cauldron are so alive in my memory ! Your poem has brought a number of memories of my college days. The poem is spot on Mala and congratulations on your win ! Malabika Ray Choudhury November 2, 2022 at 9:30 AM Valsa, I never wrote a scary poem before! When I thought of trying, the picture which came to mind, was the first scene of Macbeth! I studied Macbeth in my college days too…and I watched the play performed by some Shakespearean artists. The scene with the three witches, which was the centre-point of this famous drama, stays in mind for ever! Thank you for reading my poem.
