Exactly who is strongest?
As above, so below.
Which, pray tell, did the gods best?
Spring, sprig mistletoe...
'Under heaven' read the sign.
Only one could tell!
Fancifully or by design?
Witches, cast thy spell!
Roundabout the ruddy run?
Has twilight begun?
Forlorn yet still having fun?
Midnight before one!
Warlord of the ages?
O conquerors, take heed:
Serene, are ye, sages?
Draw bead, O my greed!
Plead? To who? Doth ye bleed blue?
Hope, need ye accrue?
O for hearts a-torn in two!
Mistakes, need we rue?
Crew of skeletons at work?
How then best to shirk?
Daring devils, draw thy dirk!
Who's the master, jerk?
Psychology, operate!
Target, O my hate!
Grown up, ghast, upon the great?
Limestone, set thy date!
Fate, thy fortune. Soaked like wood.
Down the sea-cliff fall.
Concepts like the idea 'good'!
Brood of big and small!
Should? O for us, to the last!
Hanged from every mast!
Alabaster, set in plast!
Machine, get first fast...

Generation, slide like land?
Fall into the sea?
Toil, tamarind! Much is planned!
So then, file my plea!
Weather, looking bad of late.
Volcanic my hate!
Cross the world or just the strait?
Better set the date!
Thunder, roll above us all!
Floodwaters to rise!
Fate and Fortune, fill the hall!
He who seeks the prize:
Here is one last riddle!
Nothing is to last?
Play, O second fiddle?
Goblin, ghoul, and ghast.
Yellow as the sky on Mars?
Get them when they come!
Flicker, harpsichord! Thy stars!
Deadly beats the drum!
Wall atop the northern waste?
How bad does it taste?
Nighttime women, staying chaste?
Turkey, long for baste?
Calibrate! Do not be late!
Suffer from it first?
Garment white as powder! Bait!
Plans of foemen burst!

Eagerly on my word processing app
My fingers pressing keys Tippity tap
Penning my classic in verse
Thinking the fog will disperse
Yet there’s no classic just absolute cr*p
Hell have no fury like cranial mist
Even the mild mannered would clench a fist
Aghast as my rhyme and meter take flight
Dreading the empty page night after night
Eureka proclaimed… but the notion I sense
Doesn’t take shape for this poet is dense
Must I endeavour in vain one more day
Ordering words in a haphazard way
Rabid strikes of the delete key
Only conspire to defeat me
Now I’m a nitwit with nothing to say

Light stutters and slacks
slips under an ancient nightgown.
Gore and ghast rise to pin back eyes.
Plaster cast crawlers
take over the wards of dreamers.
The nurse is buried in her 'Peoples' magazine
she does not see the shadows
reaching to seal her coffin.
Tunnels arrive like mouths;
enter the breath bereft pyramid robbers,
moth-eaten eyes pined to their extinct skulls.
They want to steal your darkness
weave it into nightmares,
ride you like a seahorse in an oily turgid ocean
until you sink all your wish-bones
too deep for any hope.

If the frequency of mind past that of sanity wait pain escape,
But yet frequencly past the storm does it anger the gods forsake or,
Unwaken what is precipitation.
Knowing hearts of hearts details, moments, cycle, of living of standards,
Who holds such things to kingdom hearts fantasy or passion why damper such passion,
Love lost or was one highest among crowd of passion was it a storm or one passing,
through a tower.
knowing hearts of hearts details, moments, cycle, of living of standards,
who holds such things to kingdom hearts fantasy or passion why damper such passion,
Persuasive heaven sorrow if a wave would make sound or splash look to shackle was left,
To answer but keep moving on and on and on.
Wind that gather harness or rash something push one past grief is it heaven sake,
Stumble by pass notice ghast, vitality, scarned, heathens breathe,
To place hand to silence a heart rage is claim once vitality,
Why question why ask of one pass does a person look tells,
There intuition optimistis out weight perception.
Truth be told is this all one knows more quinidine,
Selfication with in deeds.

Who in the darkness follows me
Now I hear a sound very near
I turn around and almost faint
What's going on tonight is so bizarre
I see weird things all the day
Footsteps and shadows make me prey
Ghostly figures fly the air
I'm about to lose all my wits
I want to race home so fast
Witches cackle right past me
Vampires in flowing long,black capes
Bare their fangs and look so ghast
Who in darkness follows me
Scaring me grisly and silly
My heart is beating like a drum
Around me the air is turning chilly
Tonight, the night is so shrilly
It's the Night of Halloween!
Goblins,demons, witches and guillotines
I am turning sickly and green
It's Halloween Night!
Children in costumes go trick or treat
Door by door to every street
And they carry bags filled of sweets
It's Halloween Night!
Who in the darkness follows me
I see grinning witches and Jack 'O lanterns
I'm racing so scared, as they follow me home tonight.
