Halloween Hangover

Unsettling it was came from where I did not know, the jagged claw upon my chamber floor so near the cot where I nightly lay, have dreamed so snug feeling quite secure, sharpest at the edges capable of tearing flesh and bone, my innards deep how could this hideous thing unbeknownst stealthily creep -- perhaps always near I shuddered to think somewhere attached to my spirit long ago -- a thought too repugnant I did not want to hear it from my troubled mind hastened I to clear it hungrily latched-on to my soul, I prayed desperately to be free of it confronting my original abomination --

A well=composed Halloween poem. Hope this is fiction. Don't dwell on scary things, though I have some scary poems up my sleeve.

Prestidigitation of the Soul! Give it a go, Victor; what the heck. Light is the best purification. Thank you, my friend.

Scary scenes leave scary feelings and memories in our mind. Perhaps, this is the after effect of a scary scene you witnessed on a Halloween night sometime in your childhood. It is surprising how our mind acts at times. Dear Joe, hope you'll be able to drive out that wretch coming to threaten you. Well composed.

Catholics would call it, Original Sin. Something lurking, lingering in all humanity, best to look at, and finally discard. I don't know? Maybe just a poem. Thank you, Valsa.

Hi Vie; just wrote one, but I could not keep it serious. Getting old I guess. Will publish it in a couple of weeks, closer to Valentine's day. Maybe give a few a laugh. Have a great weekend my friend.
