William Kelii Kekaula Poet Sapphic stanza

Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

The Omen

The Omen

Harken ghouls and boos, the diabolical
wants you solely this festive Halloween eve
as we yield cautionary words not to stray
~~or face abduction,

by visiting vampires feasting on your blood
or an alien journey to their planet
as trickery confuse then they paralyzed 
~~you with their stun gun.

Grim bloodsuckers and unearthly invaders
creates a bone-chilling sensation that haunts
until its time that all present removes their
~~disguising costumes.
