Fear Mansion

In a haunted mansion encircled with bats

rounding bloodcurdling cobwebs

A jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin is lit

with a wick from a dead lizard’s tail.

There, a nightmare spun from witches’

cackling to children lured with candy

into a cauldron lit in an eerie cemetery.

Warlocks flying broomsticks, stand guard.

A Ghoul frightens men and women

looking for a cadaver out of its coffin.

with gory limbs and a bloody mouth

emerging from a casket of an open grave.

In the courtyard Vampires roam

like an Apparition howling, calling

for the grim reaper to come forth

for souls so lost and goth.

A Goblin tickled with laughter

from children shouting trick or treat

in creepy costumes of bones and fangs

tears floors looking for victims to eat.

Cries and laughs mixed like a dye

die out around the mansion’s bonfire

on Halloween’s eve to Ghosts

rejoicing with humans in fear.
