Poetic Halloween Scare

Poetic Halloween Scare The bowls of damnation, when shall we poets meet again? In delightful darkness, enchanted evil or pain Of witches cackling, caldrons boiling and labyrinths Enter with a scream the haunted hell inhabitants With scurrying spiders, slithering snakes and shadows The condemned corpses come out to play in their repose Horrifying howling wolves, crows and jaded jackals Lifeless souls unleashed from their timeless serpent shackles Medieval knights, sorcerers and the guillotine Demons in disguise undercover of Halloween Warlocks warring, bitter battles bled within the night Wording Wizards left in a state of feverous fright Come morn we devour sweet words to feed our appetite. 13X13 13 lines...13 syllables per line Happy Poe-tic Halloween...caw caw caw Oct.20.2017 Halloween Scare Sponsored by: Russell Sivey

Such a cool, creative poem, WW. You do the Halloween spirit poetic justice w/this witty, wistful write. Loved it my friend. Final couplet was a perfect ending to this delicious poem. Pass the candy bowl please. Love and smiles always.
