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.
