Paul Callus Poet Triolet

Notes About The Poem

© Angel Hernandez

Phantasmagoria

Projected on to a large screen
The gruesome shape of evil’s face
A haunting form from Halloween.
Projected on to a large screen
A lantern cheats – don’t intervene
To stop the nightly ghoul’s forays
Projected on to a large screen
The gruesome shape of evil’s face.
