Somewhere Around Midnight of October

In  the  middle  of  the  moonlit  valley, 
there stood an old haunted house, all alone. 
Weeds and woody vines weaving up its frame, 
pulling the old house down with endless groan. 

There stood an old haunted house, all alone,
windows broken,  and midst of roof caved in 
pulling the old house down with endless groan. 
Hollow  groan  gets  deeper  its  tainted  sin. 

Windows broken and midst of roof caved in, 
weeds and woody vines weaving up its frame.
Hollow groan gets deeper its tainted sin. 
In  the  middle  of  the  moonlit  valley.

This was fantastic Eve. You have created an eerie but wonderful vision with your words. I remember a house just like this when I was a kid. We would always ride our bikes on the opposite side of the road because we feared it was haunted.
