More Scary Than Halloween

MORE SCARY THAN HALLOWEEN We spin yarns and tell tall tales Of warlocks, witches and spooks And listen as they cast their spells In countless volumes of books We hear stories of bells that toll Black cats, goblins and such Flickering candles and wandering souls It really has become too much I've learned about a different book Penned by the Hand of God One day God will take a look To see where you have trod If your name isn't found there For you, it will be too late You'll be cast into a lake of fire Beyond the Pearly Gate He'll close the book, ring the bell Light a candle for your soul Eternally, you will burn in hell And so my story has been told Curtis Moorman 21 September 2011

Way to go, Curtis! I wasn't certain whether to enter this contest. I chose to write of the witch burnings of Salom -- inspired by the play, the Crucibles. I really like your take here. Great message and well done to boot!! Hope it places sky high, but if not, your words still are marvelous. :-) Cyndi
