Halloween's Here, And She's Seeking

Beware

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

She crawls out of the shadows

on this night, every year

The celebration, hallowed

when the sky is crystal clear

Craving some new attention

seeking everywhere to find

Her souls only companion

tied like a pumpkin to a vine

The ravens call a warning

flock with murder on their minds

Rituals are habit forming

leaving sanity behind

Grave sites rumble, discontented

wanting her, to call their names

At her hand, be reinvented

to celebrate with her, death day

Keep your treats, she's only tricking

her sweet tooth is rotten to the core

What she craves is dark and sickening

halloween and all its gore

So, when the sun is sinking low

and the moon is on the rise

Be careful where you go

and watch out for her glowing eyes

Cause she comes to claim a lover

to take him with her to the grave

So, you'd better run for cover

once you're chosen, you can't be saved

For Funfact or fictionHoliday
