~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?

This is such a good ode to Hallows Eve...I liked the pacing, and the font was excellent...
And now...on the Television, I've got Michael Myers breathing through his William Shatner mask...now that man is the boogeyman!

This is quite good. The style, language and flow was excellent! My one complaint is the font you used made it tough to read and I had to go back over a few lines, but otherwise this was a good piece of seasonal poetry!

Creepy ! ! ! ! Well tonights the night for this poem. I think I saw a few of these characters lurking about my house, some even gathered up the nerve to approach my door. But what they found once the door was was opened caused even these creepy vilians to tuck tails and run. hahahahhahahahahahahaha whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

great write Fran. Perfect for tonight.
