A devilish ghoul
Receives an impish feeling
Downtrodden evil

A pebble dropped into a pool
Reveals ripples poets find cool
But when I look
Into a brook
It reveals an Halloween ghoul...

For eating
Biting is habitual effort
in any animal

But the backbiting
Only in human ghoul!

Pumpkin party was in full swing
the ghosts and ghouls began to sing
	they sang off key
	it tickled me
 as I danced ‘round the witches’ ring....

You might be beyond ever caring
what happens if you are still wearing
the face of a ghoul !
Do not be a fool
or St. Peter at you will be glaring....

A ghoul on a stool made him drool
So the vampire skipped Sunday School
The B-positive queue
Was too long to pursue
At the Blood Bank in Liverpool!...

Arianwen designed a new tool
To travel back and forth from her school
But a cat in the room
Pee'd all over her broom
So she soared piggyback on a ghoul...

There was once was a ghoul named fang
Ignored the phone when it rang
It was his brass band mate
He had missed the gig date
No more will his gong go clang...

There once was a timid young mummy
His attire incredibly crummy
	He draped a dinner jacket
	across his golden casket
Now the pretty ghouls are more chummy...

There was a teen ghoul named McDimple
Who thought scaring kids would be simple
He'd moan and he'd groan
Just like he was shown
But the children just stared at his pimple....

Gangrenous decay
Hideous creeping movements
Odour of rotting flesh
Ulcerated weeping sores
Longing for meat from the grave

Snazzy Jazzy world of dragon of Ghoul
Gold red and Green twirling scales in whirlpool
We ran out of the way
Of his fierce fire today
He is now sixth grade student at our school...

The fiendish cookies are made
Shapes of night objects
Ones like pumpkins are real good
Great skeletons too
They each have icing
Delightful
Ghoul!

Antoine is a Vampire Ghoul,

Quite barbaric, bloodthirsty and cruel,

         With a fang in your throat

         He’ll suck slowly and gloat

With a smile as you whimper and mewl....

bereft of agape love
barren is awareness 
wandering rudderless 
like a soulless ghoul

just to see is not to be
elixir of love’s nectar
with light amalgamated 
bliss effulgence eternal...

The shadow sulked in a puddle of drool,
Dribbling, it bawled out its eyes on a stool,
Hot chocolate with tears,
Starbursts and gummy bears,
It’s hard to devour sweets when you’re a ghoul.

I remember an old coot named Sam Ball
For him many a young girl took a fall
He was a lecherous old fool
Yeah, I would say he was a ghoul
Young girls ran away when he came to call.

A
zombie
reeling round
a rough nightclub
encounters a ghoul and they start to dance.
He asks, 'What's a nice ghoul like you doing 
in a place like 
this? She says,
'Rotten
roll.'

I do not think Gabe’s obsession is narcissism his mother said.
I wondered if she had more than bones and flesh in her teensy head.
He has been laying prone on a smooth reflection pool.
Looking at himself for two years, like some weird ignorant ghoul....

steering blatant revelries, ghouls engaged to death
chomping down streetlight openings in bitter stone
bow walled yew tree drifters, steps of many feet in
shallow parade to pew, the kneel cushion's betrayal
- how the shadowless crave… and the headless sing...

A hungry ghoul came to my door
Demanding sweet treats, nothing more
When I offered broc'li
The ghoul flashed his “cockney”
(I don’t open doors anymore!)

Long icicles fall, splinter
On the grey cobblestones,
And silver shrouds of winter
Shield the frozen bones,
Frozen, flesh-full bones.

And ice-gnomes squirm and scurry
Over mossy tombs,
They’re hungry and they scurry
To the feasting rooms,
Marble feasting rooms....

Tonight, I swear, way up in the sky
    I saw three cackling witches fly by

  And then down here on the ground
    Why, ghosts, goblins and skeletons
       all rattling around

  And wouldn't you know it, a monstrous ghoul
    So, Happy Halloween, Pal! ~ or April Fools...
