The Wandering Witch of Halloween

The Wandering Witch of Halloween


Writhing, wriggly slimy maggots
weaving through her hair,
her black heart  the embodiment
of repulsion and despair.
.

A malevolent wicked demon, 
many tales do foretell,
she’ll ravenously stalk you Halloween night
and drag you down to hell.


No-one knows her identity
but surrendering to fear,
most turn off lights and keep doors locked
when Halloween is near.


The blood of fresh kill gushes
as she’s feasting on her quest,
she’ll devour your brain, pick your bones
and throw away the rest.
.

She’s diabolically deceptive
her look she will disguise
this vicious, raging  evil will
paralyze you with her eyes.
.

So when venturing out on Halloween
Best keep her in mind
beware, take care... you never know
what mask she hides behind
