I watch from hollow eyes As the demons keep coming back Screaming spells in their disguise Please help! My name is Jack |

Mark Bohannan…Thanks Mark I like your haiku's Yes thanks for adding to my cry And everyone has much to fear Because I'll tell you why The witching hour is near Haleyja…Thanks Haleyja The wind calls those who have sinned When you least expect it Well I hope it's the wind Yes you will get it Janet Marie…Thanks sweet Gatorette You are at the gate Flesh and bones a reality you'll miss Beware of your fate You may pass with a kiss SEA…Thanks Sea Baby demons seem real cute Trying to bite at your feet Your screams fade to mute While your heart skips a beat serenity…Thanks serenity The moon has circled more then 5000 times And the wicked witch has always been there Casting spells of vicious black rhymes But a clever wizard gives truth for dare My face is cut from sharpen spear Awaiting feast becomes the bate My expression rots through time with fear Left alone to guard the gate |

Butterflies_don't_cry…Thank you The path is dark Beware of the moon As you walk alone through the park Hoping for some light soon Paula Finn…Thanks Paula for your rhyme To enter you must speak Three words a spell to get in My soul is on fire as I rot and reek The key is a demon's spell of sin Charisma…Thank you My light is the way I glow a single flame The key is what you say Rewards entering above your chin I am the Gatekeeper Hurry for the feast Watch out behind you the Grim-Reaper On every path you see the Beast |

tracie66…Thank you A piece of candy at the door You cut my head and make it a crown As the demons keep coming back for more I sit with a smile sometimes a frown The Lonely Stranger…Thank you Traveling spirits invade these souls This is the witching hour While funeral pyres dig their holes A Poppy becomes a dead man's flower My hollow eyes filled with fire An affordable feast couldn't be any cheaper Scary faces I did acquire Jack-O-Lantern is the Gatekeeper |

Paula Finn… The spell is chanted "Trick or Treat" You may come in if you want sin To get sweet things for you to eat You sexy She-Devil, you make me grin kat…Thanks Purr Purr! Witches will fly The moon is full Listen to the wolfs cry Beware of Satan's hole (kat did you get a chance to read Prince of Poetry) (Nice to hear from you again) Phantoms will stalk Ghosts will haunt Dead bolt your door lock It's your soul they want |

Insect, Congrats on number 500 my friend!!!!  This was awesome . . . spooky!!! LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Wow and Wow again! I came in to say I liked your first verse ... and now they're everywhere, LOL! Excellent rhymes ... you've got a huge poem building up here Insect, and it's excellent! A most wonderful read on this dark and eery night (and I've got to get to bed, so I'd better read a few funny ones now ... ack!) Best wishes, /Kit |

Lone Wolf…Thank you The sky is dark it's getting late You must hurry to get home soon Hearing spooky howl's as you lock your gate Something's in the bushes and there's a full moon Kit McCallum…Thank you Lying in bed trying to sleep Taps at the window your trying to ignore Suddenly a strange noise as you jump to the closet in one leap Relieved to find out it's your husband's loud snore Paula Finn… You horny Devil with a smile Smokin kisses you will receive You can stay for more than a while It's hot and sweaty and you can never leave  Marge Tindal…Thank you Racing from door to door But in your path a black cat Down the other way to get some more You end up here and receive a Kit-kat The ground shakes from evil voice Asking for souls to share a time Draining slowly with no choice You're lost in this place of poetic rhyme |

Ron K. Fox…Thank you Caught by the Devil of Hell You struggle trying to get free Sickened by his torture and smell He says "give your soul to me" Paula Finn… Passionate kiss arousing sin Dripping sweat from touches and taste I chant the name "Paula Finn" Grab on hard, grab on to my waist Shivers invade your body Images become unclear Your soul starts to disembody Left alone with the ultimate fear Time begins to slow As you float to a place of pain Feeling helpless you know It's your mind going insane |

My hands about your waist did roam Holding tightly as we moan Haunting kisses we do share But what you offer I must beware |

Paula Finn… A night of passion and scare Let evil sins swallow us bare Move your lips closer so I may share Then I'll eat you up so you better beware Irish Rose…Thank you Silent screams fill your mind A deathly music deafens your ears Lost voices of every kind Search for you through your fears ethome…Thank you Lightening strikes across the path An electrical force zaps your world Taking souls in a bloodbath Each body ripped apart as the pieces are hurled Halloween is the gate to hell Jack holds the key Satan grows stronger from your painful yell From the horror that awaits you as you begin to see A death of torture and pain You try to run but your feet are stuck Slowly he enters in your brain You've opened the wrong door must be bad luck |

Prometheus…Thank you Evil creatures crawl right by A fog rolls in fast The lights go out but you don't know why Then Satan appears out of a fire blast Paula Finn… Invited in is a mistake I'll steal your soul from one bite Your virgin's blood I will just take I'll devour you alive try not to fight MA Miller…Thank you Darkness is here Demons are searching for you Try not to show fear Or soon enough you will be thru Devil, demons a vampire I am Sinful deeds are my way I'll devour you like a wolf eats lamb Sign this bloody contract and you may be OK So I lied your soul is mine In the mean time have your fun You're in deep no way to decline It's a bottomless hole no where to run |
