Sinister voices heard...

and ethereal disembodied spirits seen
from the other side of the woods
said phantasmagorical sound and sight
particularly experienced every Halloween.

Though dog tired
ready for the nocturnal sandman,
but before succumbing to countless winks
namely, quintessentially, telepathically 
fictitious mythical...

Two enormous old toads crossed the road
On Tom’s back lounged Thomasina toad
Both are ugly and warty
Thomasina’s so naughty
As her bowels on his back she’d download

Who dreamed of a better life
Dreaming of a kiss from a princess
Who he could take for a wife

Is dark now; a story behind every stanchion.
It is an unwitting monument to a way of life,
Since foreclosed through bloody civil strife.

Antebellum

The hush of summer evenings cued the...

With her silky coat and eyes of emerald green
We’re silhouetted in the moonbeam's gleam

Out of sight and out of reach,
Where is this large, deserted beach?
Beyond the moon and sun's rays,
Travelling fast for many days.

accursed creepily haunting
Phantasmagoria wraiths
vandalize residents psyches
within their sleep induced state

Sublimation shunts
slumbering souls

Semi-smothered silent species
snoring simians steadfastly succumb
subsequent sibilant sounds
woo woebegone wicked transmogrification

dilapidated divested bodies deposited
wizard waves wand
watching whirling wretched lovely bones
whipsawing (in...

Unless I lost...

The witches swoop around all night,

 Giving everyone below a fright

 Upon their broomsticks in full flight

 Underneath the pale moonlight.



 They cast their spells and laugh with glee,

 As in sheer terror, people flee
