Burn our bones, buried
Deep in the cemetery.
Pray for the restless
Ghosts among the living dead:
Awaken those far ahead.
The rusted gate seemed to tell me a story as I heard the creak and squeak entering the windy cemetery...

Cemetery grave
Patiently waiting to feed
mourners now crying
Just learned about syllables in Haiku. Updated
Near Saint Avold, France,
More than ten thousand heroes
Whisper from the soil.
Illinois haunting
bachelors grove cemetery
white lady sightings
stull cemetery
shes known as gateway to hell
prominent legends
Spring cemetery
pretty white and pink blossoms
many birds that sing
grave stones scattered all around
lush green trees form canopies.
A vampire known as Good Prince Harry
Set his fangs on the Virgin Mary
He took one bite
And saw the light
Combusting in the cemetery
Miss Vi Brayder says Halloween
Is a night when spooks get obscene
In the cemetery
They were making Mary
Just as Randy was coming clean
There’s an old undertaker named Jerry
Who frankly refuses to bury
The newly dying
Since he’s been dying
To be first in the new cemetery
The rural church closed....
cemetery still receives the dead
Oh, Dad to the cemetery we come
our hearts numb with no glee
though we know you were set free . . .
rest beneath the weeping tree
deep sorrow and regret
the cemetery that
captures the dead
last verses are read
bring sweet tears instead
when the last words are said
The Halloween roads
That run in all directions
Like Howling Alley
And Cemetery Circle
Take you from the telling sign
Russell Sivey
Why do crows stay in
Inside the confines of a
Dark cemetery
Fearful tombstones their haven
Why do they enjoy the dead

While walking through a cemetery
Things were really quite ordinary
Until I finally saw
My "alive" mother-in-law
That's when it turned out to be quite scary
Rushing home
Late at night
The cemetery gates
Wide open,
Warning me to slow down.

We’re upset when vandals
desecrate a cemetery
and disrespect the dead
not so much when doctors
vandalize the womb
and desecrate the living
Donal Mahoney
Boot Hill is filled with remorse
From folks who could not stay the course
But a lot could be worse
Than a ride in an hearse
For a cowboy who ain't got no horse!
Words spoken at night
You and I forevermore
Melancholy without you
The cemetery
Came to tell you I miss you.

I wander down the lane
Granite,
Cool beneath my fingertips,
Row upon eerie row.
I trace the long forgotten names,
The crumbling stones,
Time has tried to erase
Here lies Abercrombie Wellington Jones
Under the flowers are all of his bones
Young people like to deface his gravestone
Due to all the slaves Jones used to own
Summer storm flooding
in city cemetery.
Moving day at last!

You walk by a plot in a cemetery
You hear a knock, it makes you hairy
Call the crane experts
Help you dig the dirt
Probably just a recently deceased's fairy
From the cemetery no specters arose
Why the teens then took flight, they did not disclose
What had incurred
Not seen, but heard
Discovered, because of the caws of the crows!
Four pall bearers with a coffin were not,
in a cemetery able to find their spot.
They walked ‘round and around
all the cemetery ground,
so I’m certain they have lost the plot.
