Dear Heather

Dear Heather,

Here's my response to your "Write Me a Letter" Challenge, in which you state among other stuff, that all 26 letters of the alphabet must be used.

How friggin' convenient!

I've been wanting to re-publish my Halloween poem from last year, and you gave me the perfect outlet. Yes, I've know you've read it. Yes, I'm know I'm cheating so I shouldn't be eligible for a prize, but who cares. Show me the money!!!

Honestly, I'd be happy to get some new eyes on my poem. I'm sure I'll enter another, more serious (yeah right) piece for your challenge. Meanwhile, here's my poem:

Night of Screams, A Spooky Abecedarian

Autumn winds send chills to the core

Black cats startling those who fear

Cadavers rise and walk the floor

Death hangs ghostly in the air

*

Eerie scenes of thickening fog

Frightful screams from all around

Grisly visions of bodies flogged

Haunting dreams with horror's sound

*

Impish goblins roam aimless in shadows

Jack-o-lanterns carry dimly light

Kisses of evil stalk fear in darkness

Lust filled monsters crave bloody smite

*

Masqueraded attire can’t hide the evil

Nightmare of terror that upon us begins

October full moon casts spells from medieval

Phantoms and witches chanting our sins

*

Queen of dark terror shows her visage

Reigning over this frightful night

Serpents slink from dead, blackened eyes

Tingling sensations from ghoulish sight

*

Unearthly creatures rise from their graves

Visions of horror are at once released

Wicked demons join in the fray

Xylophones play while spectres feast

*

Yowling wakes them from their dreams

Zombies stroll on the night of screams

--------

Thanks Nerd.

Love,

Nitty
