Stormy October Night

On a cold, stormy October night, In the hours of lingering twilight. Beneath the haunting full moon, Brought a white ghostly goon, Screaming fears of an ancient rune. The wind driven underneath eaves, Interlacing through trees and leaves, Scratching on the window-glass, With intense bitterness as shadows pass. Slumber and dreams haunted by the crass, Slow, flowing sand in the hourglass. Tap, tap, tap we hear at the door. In terror, open the door. There, four Puddles of water left on the floor. Darkness peering in beneath The fog, the dog, a bone between its teeth. 10/13/2022 12-16 Lines Of A Scary Halloween Rhyme Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Tania Kitchin
