What You Most Fear

Call "It" and "It" will Come 

Imagine "It" and "It" Becomes

All the horrible thoughts Create

Be the Sorrier when it's too Late


Invoke "It" and "It" Appears

A Grotesque DEMON from Hell declares

Cursing the "MOON" the Sky cried stars

Killer Zombies crawl out of backyards
 

Know "It" and "It" you'll be

A rope around your neck hanging from a tree

While Dark Shadows whisper come to me

What you Most Fear Happens INSTANTLY


Fear "It", FEAR "It" Well

A Scare crow's beside you only YOU can tell

A hideous creature's stalking  and you're the prey

Tonight your Demons are coming to take you away...

Hi Arturo, this was a fun, fine read. The truism is that what we call to ourselves we make real to ourselves, so I don't mess with Halloween! Great write.
