Halloween Night

Rosabella met her maker on Halloween night It was an unnatural death . . . Death met her in the maple forest On the edge of town She lay in the brittle leaves Her eyes starring in horror It was a violent death . . . A dark veil of hair fell across an open eye The stars twinkled down on Rosabella She looked perfectly beautiful Except she was dead . . . Such a small wound to drain all her blood A mere mark on her white throat She was a fool . . . To go walking on Halloween night What could have lured her to the forest With every form of ghost, goblin, devil and vampire lurking about . . . They took her to the town morgue Draped her body with a virgin white sheet, so white And there she lay waiting Until . . . . ______________________________ August 26, 2012 Poetry/Free Verse/Halloween Night Copyright Protected, ID 08- 416-335-26 All Rights Reserved, 2012, Constance La France Submitted to the Standard contest, Halloween, sponsor, Skat, Judged 09/2012 Honorable Mention
