Halloween
A Halloween Evolving Acrostic Poem, also my twenty second dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena
This is also my twenty-second dark poem in the series inspired by Dharrsheena.
This is a non-rhyming acrostic poem that evolves by increasing the syllables by one for each line.
I am unaware that this is a recognised form, but poetry can be what you want it to be.
I feel this is a darkness lite poem, but hope you like it.
The music is John Carpenter's amazing minimalist "Halloween Theme"
I do have something very special that I intend to publish tomorrow in time for All Hallows Eve.

Darkness Comes
This is a villanelle for Halloween from a prompt by Cathy Holmes here, but as always I make it difficult for myself. I am trying not to include any definite Halloween touchstones, but also am putting together a reading of my Edgar Allen Poe inspired βAnother Ravenβ that you can read at the end of this poem.

181 Keeping Watch
Each day she watched through her window. Watched? Perhaps an exaggeration: a monochromatic nuclear aftermath remaining of the world, blurring into a blindness--loss of contrast and depth of field. Achromatic aberrations displayed a waste-scape stratified in grays.

Ooooo, this was fantastic!
Wonderful job, Mike! The image, music, and poem are all perfect for the theme. I love the way you came up with your own form. Very creative!
Well done, Mike. Great one.
