Ghoulish creature in full moon light

Eerily stalking you, in ebony night

No longer hidden, the Hunter’s Moon glows

Lighting the way, with terror, he shows

A hideous face, with a sickle in hand

His quest for you, most carefully planned

Watching and waiting, he stares in the dark

Empty eyes gazing, he’s leaving his mark

Quivering soul, he’s gotten into your head

Wearing you down, no escape from the dead

Possess – #poetry #magic

Sky is red, beyond the pane

Spell book opens, once again

Glows in a fiery orange flame

Speaks to me, calling, a name

Who is it, I begin to obsess?

Has it come, for me, to possess?

A spark of desire, from within

Incantations, will now, begin

I watch, the fire, burning bright

Embers seeking, in mid-flight

Touch my skin, no burn I feel

Awaken, but this, was oh so real!

Sky is red, beyond the pane

Spell book closes, once again

Sold to the Witch – #poetry #Halloween

She sits in the forest, outside her home
Listening, to the whispers of the trees
Spider webs form a woven dome
As the mouse, finally, finds his cheese

She contemplates what needs be done
Before the day arrives, she’s awaiting
Knows it shall be filled with fun
And her spells, she’ll be anticipating

No one knows quite what to expect
Every year, she conjures anew
Keep the kiddies inside, you must protect
Else, they’ll wind up in a potion or two

Lash of eye, and strand of hair
She’ll take from a youthful mortal
Mixed together, drink up, she’ll dare
As she lets out a rather odd chortle

Pumpkin laughs, and shines its light
He’s such an eerie sight to behold
Better stay alert, on Halloween night
Lest your soul, to the witch, be sold

Waiting in the Night – #poetry – #freeverse

Nightfall
Fog settles in
Hides the land
Shrouding all
With its veil
Eeriness
In the distance
Lights
Through the dark
Each dimmer than
The one before
Shine
Shadows
Take control
Hovering
Ever so slightly
Spirits
Searching
Seeking
A new host
As I stand
Waiting
In the night

Peculiar Pansies and Paths ~ #poetry #DecemberWriting

30 Sunday Dec 2018

These were not just ordinary flowers
Quite peculiar in an eerie sort of way
The more I looked at them, I knew
This wasn’t the place, for me, today

Faces started popping out, before me
Their clown-like grins, made me shiver
How could something so beautiful
Make my whole body quake and quiver!

I took off, down an odd shaped path
Hoping those purple pansies didn’t follow
Saddened, because I had left so quickly
But nothing here could make me wallow

I was afraid, to look over my shoulder
For fear I’d see an evil, floral parade
So, I kept walking, along the odd path
While, in the garden, the flowers stayed

 

December Writing Prompt – Planter boxes of peculiar looking pansies, lined the odd shaped path – Day 30/31
