The Eyes Of Aggy

Was it her face the mist belies  
         The glow of green held piercing eyes
These woods I dare to walk this night
         Are shimmered still by fear and fright 

When Aggy lived and walked the earth
       Her eyes were rumored since her birth
To hold the power of a witch
          To summon darkness, black as pitch

Should you be lured into her lair
                     Within her voodoo to ensnare
Her bidding then forevermore  
                Your fate to follow, fast and sure

Yet through the woods, this Hallow’s Eve
                 Despite the mist sent to deceive
I risk where she is known to dwell
             Where eyes of Aggy cast their spell

Mike, I enjoyed your spooky tale, very well penned. Congratulations on your win, it would have placed higher with a "Haunted" title.

Hello Mike, I loved this Halloweenish tale. I think you eloquently captured the allure and fear associated with local folklore and the thrill of confronting the unknown on a night when the boundary between the living and the dead is said to blur. Excellent! Autumn Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

You won't catch me going to those woods Mike - not in a fit - I spooked myself writing the 'Halloween Night' Lol - let alone venturing out. Thinking of doing another one though. Us humans never learn do we. Maria

Woods are eerie at the best of times even in the day, you always wonder is anything lurking behind a tree. Enjoyed your spooky tale Mike, good luck in the contest. Tom
