12 October 2023 Contest : Spooky Halloween Sponsor: Tania Kitchin
Halloween Sidewalk borrows a little from
my upcoming poem
'Rum n Raisin 10 - Three Months Of Crazy'
as that poem was too long for the contest.
The world had gone mad, all the people had flipped I glared at a window where blood and gore dripped Folk wandered blindly, their eyes hanging out And bats big as rats seemed to flit all about Two nuns and a vicar with vampire fangs Lurked under the tree where a skeleton hangs A haggard old hunchback went lumbering by A rat riding high on the stake in his eye Green men with stitches and bolts through their necks Gargoyles enduring some terrible hex A madman was strutting the strut of the dead While clutching the arrow that’s right through his head A witch reached out for me and that’s when I fled I ran to my house and cried out, “They’re all dead!” The door opened wide and my dad’s hair was red “Look Son, I’ve got a big axe in my head.”
