Ghoul Town

Some houses made my heart beat fast,
With ghoulish sights and sounds;
Why, even now, rememb'ring them,
My heart each poor rib pounds!

I looked up once and saw the stars,
Looking so cold and small,
And felt a chill that made me run,
My flapping sheet and all,

Till I got home and cried, "Mom!  Dad!
Come look at all my treats!"
We spread them out and licked our lips,
Then munched on countless treats.

Haunted House

walls of black
and halls of green

lighted candle
swing to
and fro

coffins slam
with
crashing blows

watching eyes
that
peer and seek

behind portraits
of those
who were meek

journey on
to lightening  towers

past shadowed tombs
in
thunder showers

quietly ascend
the darkened stair

that leads to
who knows
where?

Moody Broom

I think we might check out the lake.
Come on broom, fly right, for darn sake.
Swirl, and dive, make a loop-i-t-loop.
Fly by those teens and hear the latest scoop.

Burr...water is wet and splashable stuff.
But moody broom, enough is enough.
You even got my "familiar" wet.
( My familiar is a large black cat)

Poor, poor,cat, are we all set?

Over the fire-seared canyon--dark and steep.
Broom, fly right, you act half asleep.
Instead of just flying to see what I can see.
We'll go to the witches' jamboree,

Is that where you want to be?

Broom gave a shutter and even a shake
but never did it make a sound.
Sorry, old friend, I almost forgot...
that certain time of year has rolled around.

Broom seemed to stretch out in length,
Picked up a surge of extra strength.
Let's fly like a bat, this Halloween night.
Give everyone a terrible fright!

We'll make everyone run, hide and beware...
Zip and flip through the midnight air.
And when these scaring hours are done,
I'll once again grin, I've had my funnn.

Sitting by the witches side, a large black cat.
In a wide circle, spooks and goblins sat.
As the witches stir the steaming brew,
The cat rears up and gives a mew.

Then from the dark hemisphere, Bats flew everywhere.
They shrieked and spun in the cool night air.
Strange things happen on Halloween night,
A most amazing sight!

Then the day after Halloween,
None of these things can be seen.
Our October witching hours are done.
We can tell all our neighbors it all was
                  Halloween Fun!

The Creatures are on Parade

Then clickety, clickety, clickety clack,
Sound like a freight train on a track.
These creaking sounds from bones are made
By skinny skeletons on parade.

Some Leprechauns and tricky Trolls
Are running around a big flagpole.
Witches on brooms and a scary geek
Are playing a game of hide-and-seek.

They make you quiver, they make you shake.
It's not a time to be awake.
You think that everything they do
Is planned for coming after you

But with the daylight comes the dawn
And all the creatures will be gone.
You can relax, but never fear
They'll all be back again next year.

Time For Lantern Lighting

Night of trick a treating
Bats and vampires stalk
Dashing street to street
Covering every sidewalk

Its pockets full of candy
The scary and exciting
The night of halloween
Time for lantern lighting

One treat after another to share
Sharing our Halloween in style
Surrounded with spicy candles
Jack OLantern wearing a smile

We’ll await till the darkness falls
A moonlit floor to dance upon
On the night seductively inviting
Beneath every star that shone

Both dressed for this occasion
Embraced as stars shine down
You in your black velvet tuxedo
Me in my soft red velvet gown

In magical spells of Halloween
All staged romantically for two
Spending the night in your arms
Both tasting love potions brew

Her spirit still roams here, crying in the night.
He left her waiting in the fading moonlight.
Alone she died here, awaiting his embrace.
Her spirit still lives here, it haunts this lonely place

You hear her gentle voice speak.
As the night of no moon reaches it's peak.
Light suddenly surrounds her, you see her face.
You reach for her again, only to grab empty space.

You hear her chant, the spell is cast.
Then she slowly lowers her mask.
You see her true beauty, for one brief second.
You hear her gentle voice softly beckon.

The enchantress of the dark has stolen your heart.
She now owns the one thing to tear you apart.
The dawn approacheth, her light fades with the sun.
But deep within your heart, the dark witch carries on.

That night she enchanted you.
Now what will your heart do......

A Demonic Night...All Hallows Eve...

You heard the whispers, you ignored
Now in front of you stands...The Darkest Lord

He feels all your pain and tastes your fear
He feeds on each and every tear

His eyes are crimson, he sports the darkest of wings
And you never believed that angels sing
Now you stare at his fangs and his claws
This Dark Lord, he gives you pause

Yet you still believe it to be a joke
Until you feel the deathly poke
As his claw runs over your face
Making your heart race

You stare in horror at the ghouls by his side
You smell the stench of death and your eyes go wide
You try to back away and hide your fear
Realizing your death could be near

You turn and you run fearing your death
Panting and sweating, out of breath
When suddenly you run through a door and into the light
With the echoing laughter of demons to haunt you through the night...

Within a pentagram stood a rare beauty
The Dark Witch riseth to her duty
As the moon shall zenith, her hands did riseth into the air
Her eyes did glow, and would become deadly, should ye stare

When all around her the mist and shadows should begin to dance
Ye suddenly feel as if ye are in a drug induced trance
Her hand gently beckons, she whispers ye name
'Tis ye soul, upon which she doeth now claim!

Drawn, ye cannae resist, ye cannae fight!
She circles ye as she dances the dance of All Souls Nigh'
She toucheth ye cheek and ye closeth ye eyes
Ye can hear the lost souls heartfelt sighs

As the moon shall wane, she shall retreat
As ye watch, ye feel more complete
For ye know she shall return again
And then ye feel the magickal drain

The mist should slip away as the sun should rise
As would the demonic and souless cries
Ye are left to wonder if it was real
But deep within...ye feel the magickal appeal

All Souls Nigh', Dance and be merry
Remember in ye heart the burdens ye carry
All Souls Nigh' Meet ye Dark Witch
Be wary, 'twill be ye soul she doeth snitch....
