Frightful Night

Darla Cooke on Oct 31, 2009

Halloween poem.

I’m listening to the strange sounds,

coming from the dark eerie shadows.

The stench of decay fills the air,

issuing from the rotting coffins.

Will I become the next victim tonight,

of angry spirits haunting this place?

I have no weapons to defend myself with,

not even a single wooden stake.

I must escape from this scary forest,

go to the safety of the city miles away.

Guess we’re surrounded.
