Night of Terror: A Haunting Journey of a Fateful Couple
A horror night of a couple
The night was dark and dreary,
A couple walked down the lane.
Their footsteps echoed eerily,
Amidst the mist and rain.
The trees were bent and twisted,
Their branches like bony hands.
The wind howled and hissed,
As they stepped through haunted lands.
Their eyes were wide with fear,
As they heard whispers in the air.
They knew that danger was near,
And that they were all alone out there.
The moon was red and bloody,
As they stumbled through the dark.
The shadows were long and muddy,
And they knew they'd missed the mark.
For they had come to a place,
Where nightmares come to life.
A world of horror and disgrace,
Where death is rife.
The couple looked at each other,
And knew they had to flee.
They ran with all their might,
But they were not meant to be free.
For the monsters came upon them,
With claws and teeth and fire.
They screamed and cried for help,
But there was no one to hear their dire.
In the end, they were devoured,
By creatures of the night.
Their souls forever cowered,
In the darkness out of sight.
And so, if you go out on a horror night,
Be warned of what you'll find.
For death and horror are in sight,
And you may be the next to unwind.

This is a wonderful piece. I like how it tells a story. Well done.
Excellent Poem, natural flow and solid story telling. I’m a huge horror fan so this poem was especially good to me. It inspired great memories of horror films and novels. Thanks for sharing
Brilliant bold horror poem! Scott Wade has provided you with some excellent feed back. I am not an expert. But enjoy a good read and on occasion enjoy writing😊💖💕
First great poem. Love the flow and the narrative.. Very Poe-esque. Second, I am not an expert but a mere amateur and perpetual student. Third, Purge filler words (like prepositions)!that may keep the rhythmic flow but do not add to your imagery or emotions. Particularly to start a line. It wastes opportunity. Use a thesaurus as writing poetry is much like boiling words down much like reducing fruit over heat to make jellies or jam by purging the water. Just an example of the first five lines. Any difference to you? The night was dark and dreary, A couple walked down the lane. Their footsteps echoed eerily, Amidst the mist and rain. The trees were bent and twisted *** Midnight was dark and dreary. New lovers walked down the lane. Shod footsteps echoed eerily Amidst the mist and rain. Aged trees were bent and twisted.
This is fantastic! Really spooky, eerie and the flow was spot on. Good work!
The pacing of this piece is excellent Muhammad. I felt like I was reading an exciting passage in a thriller book. 🫣👍
