For Halloween contest

In A Dark, Dark Room Tormented in a dark, dark room-- Smelling the foulness in the ground; Flickering shadows in the gloom That feed upon me, all around Bound hand and foot, with neck exposed, Tormented in a dark, dark room, I only slept, when coffins closed, With nightmares of impending doom. I heard above a muffled boom My eyes assaulted by the light Tormented in a dark, dark room Never more will I fear the night I signed on with Van Helsings Free, Hunting vampires from tomb to tomb. I rescue others, lost like me-- Tormented in a dark, dark room

You might like my new Halloween At The Bates Hotel. I did do one too about the Cannibal Morticians.

I guess the grave-robbers dug this up for Halloween. Have to think of a new poem for next month--maybe something about cannibal morticians.

Halloween is fun to write about. Much more freer to leave the ties of reality and plausibility.

Halloween is fun to write about. Don't have to worry about things like plausibility.
