Robert Lindley Poet Rhyme

Halloween , the Undead Rise

Halloween , The Undead Rise


How did darkness sneak into this room
echoes sounding of agonizing doom
Shrill sounds like chaotic dancing feet
images of stabbed and rotting meat

A dark mist hangs in this musty air
faint cries giving any soul a scare
Thumpings upon the foot of the bed
glimpses of many bloody, mutilated dead

Door opening to view another world
objects across the room savagely hurled
Ghostly apparition floating in the scene
claws so long with face so hideously mean

Wicked laugh coming from under the bed
mangled hand sliding forth , the undead
Smell of death's stinking odor so foul
fear cries to just flee but mind asks how!

Robert J. Lindley

Note: Month of the Undead.
Written for my daughter......

Robert Lindley October 5, 2014 at 11:54 AM Thanks for commenting guys . I remember as a child Halloween was just about the only time we ever got candy.. Then there was the excitement of the night and the childish adventure of it all stirring our young imaginations.

Gary Bateman October 5, 2014 at 4:17 AM Robert, I enjoyed your Halloween narrative here very much. It is the season for sure for these particular writes. Your imagery is great, and I like the "Wicked Laugh" coming from under the bed. Brings us all back to when we were kids and the countdown to Halloween commenced in October. Cheers and Best Wishes, Gary
