Halloween Fright

Halloween - Jeepers Creepers
Zany zombies lumber and stumble on streets, as vain vampires stalk for bloody treats. Syrupy blood oozes from water faucets, and gory goonies crawl out of cob-webbed closets.
Best time of year for the terrifying undead, with menacing monsters lurk under every child's bed. Ghastly ghouls and fearsome ghosts appear, while ominous shadows with red eyes hover and glare.
Wily witches with dark demons gleefully gloat, and sorrowful souls suffer in purgatory and float. Too late for confession - no chance for absolution.
No one can hear your soundless screams, for this is much worse than your worst nightmarish dreams. There’s no escape from this unholy hell. This is where eternal dread dwell!

This is an excellent and apt poem for Halloween; you created the perfect ideal atmosphere, Pandita. This poem must be read late at night in the dim light of a flickering candle, as the wind howls outside! // paul
