Ghoulish Gear
Gears to grind, grey grimace?
O ghoulish, gold to get?
Turtle, beneath carapace!
He who sleeps forgets!
The champion of the city?
A far off challenger?
This may not - Well, pity.
O for thee, sound! Sad? Sure...
Soul in care of, portal?
A sword will sort it out?
Heart blood, pump! Pour, poor pill!
Ravine rill runs the rout!
Fire-god, in a stern tall forge.
What there

six ghoulish goblins go trick or treating
six ghoulish goblins glowing in the dark
one of them suggests a Halloween lark
painting crazy faces on jack-o-lanterns in the road.
a witch goes crazy; one turns into a loud toad.
another ghoulish goblin chases the witch away.
She has run out of spells and screams along the way.
black cat dances past them carrying a scalding pot.

Ghoulish Tree
I had never seen such a sycamore tree said my friend Neve.
Was it a coincidence that I found it on Hallows eve?
Had no idea what she was talking about until late that night.
The ghoulish faced tree gave me an incredible fright.
I jumped visibly, and my scream was heard through the night.
Echoing on other trees in

Ghoulish Night Creatures
ghoulish entities ooze from the bowels of graves
slurping and slinking around bushes and under porches
they are the night raiders, the soul stealers, the vampire’s minions.
I feel their presence, and my blood freezes. I cannot get warm enough.
They have arrived.
I am their destination tonight.

Ghoulish Monster's Night
Walking in the dark ghostly night
During the black stillness of twilight
Into the forest of superstitious fear
Burning eyes through you do sear
A fuliginous mist hung in the air
Obscured things that werent there
Atmosphere held a sinister feel
Fueling fears how will you deal
Secrets held on this eves hallow
Bodies hid in graves so shallow
Sending through you such chills
Behind

Ghoulish Moon
Ghoulish moon
Veiled behind clouds of dark night,
struggling to catch up with the breeze,
Ghoulish moon draped in serene white,
rolled fast to bewilder with its dazzle !

Ghoulish Soul
Give me not time or day
For my life is set to fade
Dreams surreal into the realm
I live as If I'm alone on film
Kiss me not upon the lips
Shun me from your tenderness
Against the dawn dark prowls
I taste of past and swallow now
My body declines will my mind live
My soul succumbs my spirit rived
Into the black

Bad Ghoulish Goblin
There once was a bad ghoulish goblin.
Thump, thump on a crutch he was hobblin’.
It was Halloween night.
He dared to give a fright.
But he fell to the ground; he was wobblin’.
