Janet Vick Poet Acrostic

Skeletal Remains

Scary pictures on the wall,
Killing scenes encompass all.
Every year when ghosts arrive
Laughter fails. It cannot thrive,
Echo ghouls in twisted lust,
Timeless past of blood flaked rust.
Agents of fear bring Halloween,
Life beware! Death stalks unseen.

Racing heart, terror arises
Erasing hope in compromises
Midnight hour the spirits feast,
A test of courage for the human beast;
Image of Death, the skull with no face
Nestled in bones securely in place,
Skeletal remains, holding a mace.

Andrea Dietrich December 23, 2011 at 4:20 PM Hey, I see you have the word "rust" in here (I like the way you used the word in that line). Too bad you didn't write this until after the Rust contest was put up!! Good Halloween poem! Janet Vick December 25, 2011 at 6:29 PM thanks for reading and commenting. Greatly appreciate
