~Tonight~

Tonight
Sininster shapes shall cast shadows of doom
Clusters of corpses crowd corners
A most gory sight of gloom

Tonight
Grotesque ghosts grin
with sullen grim faces
While vampires savor life's blood
in dark secret places

Tonight
Werewolves reap destruction
beneath a dreary demon moon
and the unholy dead celebrate resurrection
as their grey zombie bodies
walk to satan's evil tune

Tonight
Skeletons reach out with fleshless fingers to grab
and the unsavory creature lurkingly lingers
'til all the delights of horror have been had

Tonight
Wild wicked winds whip the night's air
with the stench of decay
and everywhere eyes stalkingly stare

Yes, Tonight,is the night
Evil shall have its say

Okay Fran you've unloaded with the heavy artillary. This is a fantastic, fun, creep show quality little diddy. I really really like this one and will be adding it to my favorites. I've read all your more recent pieces so I can only assume this one was burried back in Frannies archives. What else you got burried back there?

Great write. I loved the descriptions.

Very nicely done.

"Grotesque ghosts grin
with sullen grim faces" --> There's something about this that somewhat came to my attention. I don't know--maybe it's the close proximity of "grin" and "grim" that, in my personal opinion, makes it slightly redundant. But I think that's just me, LOL.

Anyway, moving on... I liked your descriptions here--great imagery, and not at all overwrought, like some others become when the writer is trying to put too much description. I think I'm guilty of that, haha. Reading this one more time, I liked it much more than when I first read it. Maybe the impact is only now sinking in, but it is a great write. :)

Good Halloween write although I have always found this to be a very fun holiday as a Mother - sewing costumes every year - it is quite spooky and the description and imagery is wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
