My try in writing a halloween poem. It is more just creepy than halloween-ish, but I hope you all enjoy!

Dark allies, secrets of night
Trash bags full of deceit, you know it’s not right
Hands painted blood red, you clench at the sight
but for the demons, they just get ready for another fight

Choke on the feelings, deepest regret
Sights you’ll see that you’ll never be able to forget
Lay your money on the table and place your bet
Once your cards are dealt, you will learn your debt

Screaming in terror, awake from a dream
Things no longer are what they seem
No amount of soap can keep your conscience clean
All you see are demons, so wicked and mean

You thought you already were awake
but another deep sleep you did take
The disturbia inside you cannot shake
Are all the horrific sights real, or are they fake?

    I think you meant “conscience”.

    Aside from that you have certainly achieved creepy. I think that there is something inherently creepy about trashbags….
