fun halloween piece

Jack the pumpkin killer of his town

Smiled as guts of orange smashed onto the ground

As we enter into the next verse

We see wicked Jack placed under a witch’s curse

She's chanting" body decaying with a big orange head

You will become a pumpkin of the walking dead

As you walk the dark wanting to feed

Instead of brains you’ll crave pumpkin seeds"

Pumpkins pumpkins trembling in a patch

Gooey and rotting through his teeth and down his hatch

A lantern shines from the hand of Jack

Lifeless pumpkins falling out of his sack

The candle glow fizzles out

Spreading his seed other zombie pumpkins will sprout

From the pumpkin patches they will rise

With a frightening smile and a dead glow in both eyes

Soon Jacks body will become one with the earth

Waiting for Halloween for his monstrous rebirth

Now on the ground rest his orange head

Waiting to return again as the living dead

Once seen as a foolish country bumpkin

A curse would turn Jack into a zombie pumpkin

More pumpkin please. As I entered your domain, I wondered if you had some spooky tales to tell. You did not disappoint. Do you like the show "The Walking Dead"? This poem says, "Orange you glad you read me." I know cheesy humor.

This a really cool halloween piece. Creative as hell well done.

[Eric Cox]

Was fun to read. Cool creativity. Excellent pen upon this.

[A.r. Bazian]

very nice rhyme...
one suggestion:
"awaiting Halloween..." instead of using for twice in the same verse!

[Star Wolf]

A very impressive and chilling Halloween tale in your poem. Very well written and it was fun to read on this Halloween evening.

Love this! It's kinda playful and chilling at the same time. Pumpkins beware but the thought of turning into something like this..awful! What a fantastic tale in this poem. Very well written and very creative too!
