Premium Member Superstition
Friday the 13th, and dark clouds rise There is superstition in her eyes Will she venture out and test the fates Or hide behind her iron gates Her lover left, he won't return She thinks the gypsy queen will bring him back Magic spells she can't discern Her superstition is right on track On...

Premium Member Step Into My Voodoo Dream
I am the Voodoo Queen, draped in mystic skies, Where moonlight whispers and shadows lie. Beneath my veil, the arcane hums, The pulse of the midnight, where the serpent drums. Call me a witch, a name well-worn, Where magics bloom, and curses are born. But know this truth, as old as the sea: There is more to my craft than what eyes...

Young Wild Chasm
Take of a turn of three time to talk of penumbra tales beneath a taramond tree trials and wailings of two lives in the vale The life of young from it infancy thence gradual, conventional neither fantasy the sweetest of them all to behold incomparable to an undelectable life of old The sun and snow that oldlings won't deign in them, we striplings all...

Ghost
The graffiti covers it. On the wooden steps, I sit. Written on the walls are evil smiles. I haven’t seen anything so scary in a while. So as October wore on, I would walk past that building at dawn. I would step on a leaf. And felt a sense of grief. This building is empty, I...

Premium Member Halloween Hangover
Unsettling it was came from where I did not know, the jagged claw upon my chamber floor so near the cot where I nightly lay, have dreamed so snug feeling quite secure, sharpest at the edges capable of tearing flesh and bone, my innards deep how could this hideous thing unbeknownst stealthily creep -- perhaps always near I shuddered to think somewhere attached to my spirit long ago -- a thought too...

Premium Member Spooky the Night
Spooky the night; Ghosts are even contrite Continually drifting round the hound. Pumpkins have found A dark body to walk them around While monsters walk the streets. The pounding of the brisk wind beats. Frighten Cuckoo bird under a nightshade hood. Red eyes hover round the woods. Bats fly round, waking the dead. Soil moves, while coffins...

Premium Member An Unholy Christmas Mash Up
The snow lay thick; the snow lay flat Upon my roof, a pitter pat A reindeer or an alley cat? Sure ain’t Santa… can’t be that For midnight came and midnight went So, clearly Santa wasn’t sent… Who pitter patters as they go Upon a roof that’s thick with snow It seems my Christmas gift this year Is gonna cost me very dear The sounds...

The haunted house
12 am midnight hour Felt uneasy, confusing! How suddenly I lost my power Went for shower my nervere on edge Knock knock ! A warning or a pledge Suddenly my gaze met mirror reflecting my face A creepy whisper "pretty" from unknown place My spine shivered , body got numb Took knife on my hold...

October’s Child
Born in the breath of woodsmoke and fire, I learned early to love the art of falling. Leaves tumble like poorly kept secrets, trees strip down without shame - modesty’s for summer, after all. October hums with rebellion: bonfires blaze, sunsets bleed, and the wind, cheeky as ever, slips its cold fingers into every undone button. History rattles here - 200 years since Waterloo fell...

Premium Member Dream Within A Dream Within A Dream
A moon-lit day End of Fall The Sun an unseen presence Far down south-west Behind some silver cloud Maples showering gold On a lengthening walkway Lovely as the Milky Way A young couple in embrace On a lonely bench Hush, hush, silent speech Tip-toe vagrant breeze A teenage cutie In Halloween fancy Of rainbow hues Floats her way Did the trees around Send her down With their sliding leaves? Time in lethargy The skies in...

The Hole Story
The pumpkins placed upon the steps To set a scary mood Were attractive both to look at And to squirrels, too, as food. At first, they nibbled here and there But then were on a roll And chewed their way inside Via an ever-growing hole. On every pumpkin (there were four), These entries could be found And seeds or some discarded bits Were scattered on the...
