Kill the Suckers

The vines are taking over, Unstoppable at their rate, Like monsters in the graveyard, Or something from outer space, Green with sticky suckers, Grabbing all insight, Don’t venture down that pathway, They lurk there in the night Wrapping around your body, Strangled is your fate, They beckon as they call you, To stop your circulate, With telepathic thought waves, The cemetery a quiet place, So if you’re very curious, And want to take the chase, Chance your luck one evening, But I suggest you up your pace, Don’t hang around them gravestones, They'll bind you in that place, But just in case you’re helpless, Alone for goodness sake, Take a pair of scissors, Kill the suckers lace. 27/09/2016 For contest Broken Wings Overgrown with vines

Great idea, Mrs Wendy. I love your poem, a great one this close to Halloween. I am not what you would call a cemetery person but were I to go looking I will remember to take along a pair of scissors.
