Halloween – Aremyfeetofftheground

Werewolf?

“You’re such a strange critter “
He posted on Twitter
And waited until she replied.
“You’re just being bitter”
She said, then he hit her
And dragged her limp body inside.
A full moon had risen
O’er the site of her prison
He could not control what he did
And those who would listen
Knew not they were missin’
His howl as the body he hid.

Apparition

In the dark of your room
Something cold from the tomb
Awakes you with feelings of dread
Seems to float and to hover
Then pulls on your cover
And sidles up next to your bed

Its image is fearsome
A face without eyes
An energy making you swoon
It radiates outward
Your hair it will rise
Like you feel when you rub on a balloon

Paralysis grips you
You cannot but shout
Your face feels as if it will smother
Someone turns on the light
And, there in the bright,
Stands (in costume)
Your wee little brother.

You missed Halloween, you dope.

A night in the woods

At twilight she rises

Dark Maggie McKee

And she stands in a curtain of rain

The dimness disguises

Maniacal glee

For the world has inflicted her pain

Vengeance is wanting

She’s out for a haunting

And the silvery moon’s on the wane

She slides through the forest

And the crickets have chorused

In awe of her legerdemain
