Halloween Night

RUN, I'M WATCHING YOU



Be quiet now, the full moon scrapes the hour
when evil ghouls crawl on bleak streets, unknown 
a gruesome feast they thirst to devour 
the carnage of the living, down the bone.
As midnight howls, dare not open the gates
shadows can transform into bloody paws;
to unplug the light, a rampage awaits
the wailing screech of flesh drilled by chainsaws.
From graveyards of old, more corpses arise
with maggots on tongue gnawing spoiled debris,
and hissing winds darken the view; be wise
since terror reeks a plague like a red sea.

It's witching time; beware of fright undone
Pray... I'm one of them watching you, so RUN!

Great sonnet my friend. Congrats on your win! "From graveyards of old, more corpses arise with maggots on tongue gnawing spoiled debris, and hissing winds darken the view; be wise since terror reeks a plague like a red sea." Love it.....

This is scary! It feels like the opening of a horror movie, the kind I won't watch because they give me nightmares.
