remains for so many a most ghoulish specter
eat out at your peril
already he's asked you confirm you are sterile....

Be yourself
Enchant from a distance

Have a true dream
Avoid ghoulish competition
Passion in anything
Past lessons learned before reacting
Yes, it’s only beautiful if it’s different…...

Five ghostly cats rose from the bowels of Jack
Appeared silently with no clatter or clack.
How did that jack-o-lantern create those ghoulish cats?
Wondered gargoyles, ghouls and ebony bats....

Hillary Will Cherish Horn Limerick

Hillary forever will cherish
And hope Trump soon has to perish
We wish he was not here
Also did disappear
How could God make someone so ghoulish?

Greta Garbo's name wasn't exactly sex bombish
Sounds more like a killer or a creature quite ghoulish
Now Marilyn Monroe
Stirred my apparatus below
Dated her once made me scream and turn bluis...

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’.

denizens of dark
float the streets in ghoulish garb
feeding on our fear

creep the alleyways
haunting us at every turn
endless dread we feel

thankfully this night
only comes but once a year
it's all hallowed eve...

Through that window, strains papa's
Efforts to shut again
Would you, in a bug-eyed pest
This nasty breed let in?
O'ersized besides, for habit
Of cicling annoyance.
A ghoulish end, to live off
Comes savouring its chance....

Gothic creatures of old
  gaze down from their ledges 
    glaring at unseen threats.
       Grotesque legends of stone
    garner my attention 
  garish symbols ward off
ghoulish evil demons.

While claws of full moon pierce the lanes, beware

For Hallow slakes on a witching twilight,

Ghoulish tricks from dark shadows choke the air

Engraving beams with ripped imprints of fright!

A dreamscape of woven wanting
Fingers trailing frozen roads
Hearts with a feverish hope
And souls yearning to travel to foreign destinations
To escape this ghoulish town
Minds exploding in a golden fire on the horizon
As we reach for that impossible something...

Love bereft, cold heart and clenched fist
Yes, they walk among us
Oblivious to the bliss mist
Their ghoulish ways nonplus

Give them love and move on
They’ll again be reborn
Hopefully, ego shorn

Nothing left
Love bereft

The Dark is not, through and through
Evil personified.
Owl's pinpricks of good intent
Shine through, soft moon-eyed.

And for what Day, outfaced, is
Too fiercely intrusive
More any ghoulish horror
Eats away at the nerves
Does it, for what such preserves
A safe refuge give....

The mother could not stop screaming after her daughter was snatched.
Her son ran to their spaceship and locked himself inside the hatch.
Father ran after daughter, and skull creature took them both into the skies.
Frightening Halloween night; as ghoulish weirdos sharpen up their knives....

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....

ghostly nuances
haunted houses galore
madcap witches

trick or treaters
giggling with gusto
hoping to be scared

dracula howls
terrifyingly real
vampire sandwich

ghoulish gargoyles
hiding among princesses
going house to house

dance of the weirdos
octobers insanity
no masks needed...

Ghosts	
Ghoulish spirits that float around
Haunting the living with moaning sounds
Orbs of evil swirling and moving on sacred grounds
Secret beings that hover above graveyard mounds
Terrorizing living people who are sleeping soundly
Suspicious activities that happen when no one else is around....

Leave me alone you beautified 6itch ;
Oh ghastly and ghoulish playpen of a witch.
Vases of roses are covering your deeds;
Eloquent verses describe your sick needs. 

Many come calling but none ever leave; 
Even my dumb heart now wants a reprieve.

Salisbury Steak, that horrible dish
When they served it at school
All cold and brown-ish

Salisbury Steak, it always was cold
With ghoulish potatoes
If truth be told

Salisbury Steak and squeaky canned beans
Cut up real short
In a sick palish green

Salisbury Steak, it’s worth a fresh try
You might even like
That Salisbury guy...
