Death's Show

Once upon a night so dreary
my sleepy eyes were tired and teary
I tossed and turned in dreams so weary
'twas all too eerie,it had me wary
 
Shadows under eerie trees bounced
with howling wind sounds so pronounced
scary black cats with talon claws pounced
a dark dreadful nightmare I renounced
 
 Golden fog floats on rain damp air
upon death's cold tombstones standing there
skeltons dancing  with deadly stare
this nighmare was more than I could bare!
 
Golden beams of sunlight go
and dark shadows control the flow
and a firey hell awaits my final blow
'Alas, my death's show, I now must go.

I enjoyed this read. Shadow's under eerie trees bounced...is a brilliant image as it is really gives the reader that spooky feeling... really well done....

[Linair]

I like this poem a lot. It reminds of Poe's The Raven. Very well done and the rhymes are brilliant.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

I agree the rhyming is natural and it brings the poem to life... it is like an ancient ghost story... magnificent.

[Gheeneil]

Articulate and brilliant, the use of words was. You didn't force words to rhyme. Just beautiful!
