Halloween night ends

When the last candle flickers

And Jack says goodbye

Look at the goodies, we grabbed up today

All from the neighbors, who live down our way

We just couldn’t wait, we weren’t that strong

We ate all the candy, although it was wrong

Slurping up chocolate, what a hideous sight!

Charlie kept burping, the rest of the night

Til we all made it home, alas, to our beds

But all of the sugar had gone to our heads

We couldn’t sleep, this wasn’t right

To be in our house on this Halloween night

So we all sneaked out, round the neighborhood

Hoping again, we would find something good

 

Writing Prompt: Slurps and Burps – Day 31/31 – Can you believe it!  31 days of writing prompts are over!!  Thanks for all the fun, Michelle!  Now, where are November’s writing prompts?

The candlelight flickers

Shadows dance along

Moving, like gentle breezes

Breathing grows quicker

As passion grows strong

She is his, to do as he pleases

The night grows black

And shadows emerge

The wind picks up in the trees

What was that whack?!

Twas the sound of a scourge

As he tossed her over his knees

Torment ~ #poetry #Halloween

The steeple bells ring, this Halloween night

Blackest of ravens, begin their flight

Seeking out all, who no longer breathe

Flying about, they impatiently seethe

They must bring one back, the bell man said

Or they would, surely, be the next ones dead

Squawking to each other, they spied down below

The perfect specimen, on which they’d bestow

The terror of those which swoop down on one

Taunting and teasing, all this for fun

Until tired and spent, a human’s lament

Is carried away, in the claws of torment

Single fallen leaf

Blown about, riding the wind

Landing among friends
