On Halloween by Linda L. Dowd Hold candle bright above your head to light the hellish path. On Halloween the ghoulish trails are slick from bloody bath. Beware the stench of fetid flesh ~ assailing nose and soul. And listen not to clang of bell that claims souls with each toll. Don’t hesitate! ~ Keep marching on ~ right past the rising dead. Say silent prayers from sealed lips ~ lest Evil hears what’s said. Lord Michael always stands on guard and beams down Rays of Blue. All ghouls and demons ~ he'll cast out to see you safely through. No harm will ever come your way when you invite the Light. The Dark is felled by Michael's hand which wields gold Sword of Right. *+* [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (10-29-2009 02:42 PM).] |

Wow, dearest Linda, to find Archangel Michael in your Halloween post surprised and pleased me so much. You did an incredible job here with your powerful words. Within the shrine and under the wings of Lord Michael I could feel safe even in a terrifying Halloween atmosphere. You say it! Whatever theme you treat you achieve spectacular poetic heights. Love, Margherita |

Kind of like a walk in some forsaken cemetary...but as usual you shine the light so brigt. You are fearless fair lady, and your poetry transcends all ghosts and goblins and things that go bump in the night......just my take you know! |
