Premium MemberThe Bones Lay Flat

The bones, lay flat, without a sound,
Then one by one, clickety-clack.
Departed souls’ cold backs did crack.
The bones lay flat without a sound,
Until their jaws did flap, confound.
Each found its skull a lantered-Jack.
The bones lay flat without a sound.
Then one by one, clickety-clack.

The bones lay flat without a sound.
The bones lay flat without a sound.
The bones lay flat without a sound.
Then one by one, clickety-clack.
Then one by one, clickety-clack.
Deceased army prepares attack.

Halloween Horror

The walls are closing in on me
In this creepy crawling scene
As she slides out I can see
The walls are closing in on me
Her decaying face a grave canopy
Please let this be a dream.
The walls are closing in on me
And no one wakes to see.

Premium MemberCold In Them Thar Hills

This week, snow is expected in the hills A bitter cold Halloween like I remember Thinking about it gives me the chills Mostly the looming winter heating bills It’s time to caulk up the windowsills Against a blustery, blizzardly November This week, snow is expected in the hills A bitter cold Halloween like I remember.

Premium MemberEnd of Summer

September spells the end of the summer Halloween decorations will soon appear, The signs of cold weather are a bummer September spells the end of the summer, Appearance of a frost is not a newcomer With few sunny days; cloudier and drear, September spells the end of the summer Halloween decorations will soon appear.

Premium MemberPounding of the Hammer

“I am the monster that breathing men would kill. I am Dracula.”

                                                                Bram Stoker


The successive pounding of the hammer.
The stake in his heart took my breath away.
Came the bright torches, village clamor,
the successive pounding of the hammer.
Rosin of the vampire, screeching glamour,
tightening of cold hands, recant to pray.
The successive pounding of the hammer.
The stake in his heart took my breath away.

Premium MemberPhantasmagoria

Projected on to a large screen
The gruesome shape of evil’s face
A haunting form from Halloween.
Projected on to a large screen
A lantern cheats – don’t intervene
To stop the nightly ghoul’s forays
Projected on to a large screen
The gruesome shape of evil’s face.

Premium MemberWitch's Moon

A witch's moon glows full and bright,
Casting shadows all around,
Its orange glow an eerie sight. 
A witch's moon glows full and bright,
Awakening spirits of the night - 
Their mournful cries a frightful sound.
A witch's moon glows full and bright,
Casting shadows all around.

Premium MemberSeason of the Witch

At this time of year,
When the air's crisp and clear,
And the wind blows the leaves 'cross the ground,

They say there comes stalking,
That the dead come a-walking,
And spirits and ghouls haunt the town.

When the moon shines bright,
You may see by it's lght,
As witches on broom sticks fly by,

And the will-o-the-wisp,
When the air's cool and crisp,
Tries to lead astray all passers by.

The wind in the trees,
Is blowing the leaves,
And making a ghostly moan,

'Round the house outside,
Warning all what betide,
Any who fail to stay home.

Stay close by the hearth,
If you be faint of heart,
For the ghosts and the ghouls are at play,

Till the witching hour,
When they lose their power,
And they must return to the grave.

Premium MemberThree Bad Brothers

Three bad brothers were killed on Halloween Their spirits were released into the night No other evil group has sure been seen Three bad brothers were killed on Halloween They were the worst lot of men, they were mean They’re said to be trapped in trees without light Three bad brothers were killed on Halloween Their spirits were released into the night

Premium MemberCauldron Boils

The cauldron boils with the witch’s brew Ghosts prowl the darkness fearlessly Jack-O-Lanterns lit, shining through The cauldron boils with the witch’s brew Black cats walk the streets like they do Halloween holds these completely The cauldron boils with the witch’s brew Ghosts prowl the darkness fearlessly
