DAY "12" OF THE HAUNTING

WHAT'S YOUR DISH?

Tired of my warnings

But not yet mourning

maybe a tale of death

would take your breath

Didn't I just fulfill your wish

By providing a tantalizing dish

Love unrequited

Did not end reunited

nightmares, my dear

zombies a capital fear

bats that bite and suck,

witches with pluck

I know all your delights

just tell me your frights

and I'll transpire

your every desire

a tale of horror or two

the goal to inspire

all for you

and your muse too

all for the holiday

so come on out and play.

.MUAHAHAHAHA!

Crazy Faces

A bit silly, you say

but give crazy its sway

there are many ways

to receive my gift

not all are so thrilling

many quite chilling

becoming a goon

howling at the moon

seeing ghosts

watch out

fangs could mark your host

a wart on the nose

belies the hostess with the most

deranged, totally insane

is our sweet plain Jane

but this time of the year

everyone's a bit queer

get ready, dear friends

for all that Halloween portends.

MUAHAHAHAHA!

DAY "8" OF THE HAUNTING

Oh, The Fun!

The days count down

my numbers increase

my smile lengthens

and yours decrease

are the signs getting to you

am I making a dent

it's the month of evil

my haven

cheer up, dear one

see what you've won

dancing bones

rotting flesh

or burning alone?

MUAHAHAHAHA!

Did you like yesterday's story?

shall I give you the answer

or make you wait another day

okay

you win

a drabble

one hundred words

that tells it all.

Black Magic

When I woke, a blue bottle on the nightstand told me the dream was true.

My lover's pillow was cold. What lie would be told today? I hid the bottle in my pocket and went about my day.

He claimed work kept him but vowed his undying love.

His favorite dinner I served with the blue bottle powder liberally spread. Would he now be my beau or a gargoyle of stone?

He ate, and a declaration of love was made.                           Photo by Donovan Reeves on Unsplash

Nothing changed, and I knew I'd won my man.

Then the full moon rose and a gargoyle I owned.

MUAHAHAHAHA!

26 DAYS

Our specialty is the scare

so please beware

we never offer a treat

don't make me repeat

it's not about candy

or whatever's handy

Halloween

and the days before

are all about the scare

terror's our goal

goosebumps galore

scream, scream, scream

that's our dream

prepare now

only 26 days

until our evil ways

give  you the fright

of your life!

MUAHAHAHAHA!

DAY "3 " OF THE HAUNTING

W H I S P E R

Like my electric smile

doesn't it dazzle

a beautiful display

yet it's still not time

for that most favorite day

But please draw near, my dear

whisper your plan

w i s p e r  w i s p e r  w i s p e r

oh, what a thrill

a murder

going even further

an undead dance

where a blood fest

means death

but is walking

the earth hungry

with a blood thirst

really the way

to spend your days?

be careful, my dear

evil wears

a handsome face

with a smile, he'll take

the icing, and the cake!

MUAHAHAHAHA!

Masquerade

Mawhahahahha

Bet you thought I forgot

my countdown to dawn

silly you

it's only day  two

soon the monsters arise

October 31st

will soon be upon us

don't hide your eyes

or forget my promise

a fright

a death

that final end

is upon us

shall we have fun

before all horror

befalls

how about a ball

a place all monsters crawl

a dance

a drink

before you fall.

MUAHAHAHAHA!

ALMOST HALLOWEEN

It's nearly time

For those tricks

or  treats

a chocolate

or blood feast

it's yours to choose

on my blog

you'll never lose

when you celebrate

the evil within

remember, it's all in fun

a hilarious pun

a poem to scare

the effort is there

but truly, dear heart

my goal is to amuse

make you think

inspire your muse

Halloween is about fun

a great celebration

to ease the stress

as life itself

is sometimes

a pure horror fest!

Succubus

Sultry Lady

So sexy and sure

make-up perfect

costume comely,

she smiles and whispers

come see me sometime

you're flattered

quite taken

and ready for more

off you fly

with her by your side

a lover's tryst,

meant to end the night

now the succubus

has you

and you won't escape

her evil clutches,

until the end of your date

so say farewell

because that first kiss

will be your last

she'll drain you of life

suck it all out

you won't even

be able to shout

a last memory of fun

isn't that what 

a Halloween party 

is all about?

Poorly Sewn!

Frankenstein

There's a monster poorly sewn

Frankenstein, not a clone

put together from death

no need for breath

different parts and pieces

with lots of creases,

a weirdly shaped head

a body too huge

and a neck

where bones protrude

was his blood stewed

where did he

come from

some body-mart

an alien planet or garbage dump,

he grunts his words

but seeks

softness and warmth

poor, misunderstood creature

hounded by people with

even worse features

pitchforks and torches

under a full moon

they scream and chant

burn, burn, burn

will they achieve such a gruesome task

or has nature got plans 

for this poorly made mass.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Vampires are the Undead

 

Photo by Loren Cutler on Unsplash

Vampire

A vampire's hunger

is gnawing and deep

are you ready to grasp

a life undead

immortal you'd be

not of this coil

but dead and cold

decaying inside

as you hunger and crave,

 the warmth of life's blood

from an innocent babe

someone you love,

take all you want

get death in return

your life you've forfeit,

for the mantle of doom.

So which would you choose?

This trick or this treat

on this most 

dark and deadly

Halloween fête?

You Can't-Miss This Party!

The Dead Will Walk on Halloween!

 

Ghouls

There's plenty of ghouls

on land and sea

some drowned

others just tried to flee

from a life

long and hard

or a crime they didn't foresee

watery deaths

or bones

those murderers

buried deep

terra Earth

will always be discreet

but on Halloween

those spirits will arise

to remind the living

that evil thrives

and is always close by.
