Naught For the Faint In Heart

Listen to poem:
Naught for the Faint in Heart

Harrowing bloodcurdling decapitations, decomposing cadavers, and spine-tingling minions of apparitions, 
          that unravels in this gothic horror too spooky for the sane,
a haunted house wizard's necromancy as orbs creeps out the culled to unnerving extreme conditions,
          with levitations abound as specters possess those they drain,
a witch incantations o'er boiling cauldron with the eyes of newt, whorling bats, hooting owl renditions, 
          arched black cat hissing as the mangled mouse shrieks wane,
hair-raising tools of chainsaws, pitchforks, guillotines, scythe, thumbscrews, and fatal games of volitions,
          petrified palpitations immeasurable to read a pulmonary vein.

Goose bumps too, William. I see a hint of Macbeth in your beautifully composed tale of horror from your haunted house - nicely done! Congratulations on your win!
