BOO!

 Hang your ghastly decorations

black lights, demon pumpkins, and witches.

You’re wasting your expectations.

Ghosts don’t exist.

 How can they haunt or harm

To be frightened, I resist.

 October, Halloween, or

All Hallows Eve.

 The dead don’t rise

and bones won’t walk or rattle

for either tricks or treats.

 So, play your games.

But I don’t buy it.

 Ghosts and ghoulies

are only a figment of your imagination.

The stroke of midnight will show

you’ve wasted your fear 

And now November 3rd is here!

Mwahahaha!!!

YES!

ALL HALLOWS' EVE

Copyright for Halloween haunted House Pictures

I rise with the mists.

I wander among the dead and dying.

Leaves don’t crunch under my feet but scatter in fear.

The moon though looks upon me lovingly.

Kindred spirits ravaged by time.

Doomed souls forever cursed to the darkest hours.

Once I loved a man, and he loved me.

Then he loved Sheila.

They buried me deep in the woods.

But I’ve no rest.

Until justice is mine, I wail and moan.

But on All Hallows' Eve my wish will be granted.

Jeremy will once again lie with me.

Sheila now loves another.
