Time to dust off your Halloween Poetry! I challenge you to fill the hall with spider webs and clanking chains!


The Undead


Crawling through the mist
On the eve of Halloween
He lived not, nor was he dead
He was sort of in between.

His eyes were sunken deep and hollow
His mouth was open wide
His hands grasped at nightly horrors
He didn’t know that he had died.

Ummmm....Halloween? I never wrote a holiday poem before, not even Christmas! For me Halloween is different anyway! It means money! Cuz my lil bro was born 2 days before that All Hallows Eve, so gotta shell out da cash. Anyway, cute poem.


Much love all,

Whew! This was scary! I'll try to dust the cobwebs out of my brain and see if I can come up with something!

I love this, but it's far too scary, everytime I come out of the cupboard someone scares me silly. I'm going into that cupboard and staying there.
Take care
         and watch out

Hey, that's just like in the Sixth Sense. They don't know that they're dead. Creepy...
