Ghouls and Goblins , Witches , Warlocks , pumpkins and black cats Does any-one know what to do with newt and wing of bat ? Funny , scary , I don't carry , stock in such nonsense But with all the talent here this could get quite intense ...Boo! My own little contribution I call ... " Silence! " No measure of historic time can gauge it's first black thought Pre-dating the primordial slime an essence purely wrought of darkest deeds as yet un-done that lie beyond our ken A thing of such malevolence it harkens of the end For eons it has laid in wait for one to speak it's name Accursed is the nether-world the region whence it came With machinations bent to serve but one un-holy cause An evil of such great intent that here I must give pause What scarce was known has been forgot by all but for a few Lovecraft sensed what most did not though Poe percieved it too And so it waits with patience born out-side of space and time Lest some un-witting fool as me shall use it's name in rhyme So be ye ever vigilant in dreams lest it may creep forth into this waking world beyond the bounds of sleep |

I can't believe it is almost Halloween again!! Wooohooo!! I love seeing all the little ones dressed up and soooo excited!! As for the challenge, is it okay to repost my poem from last Halloween or do I have to torture my brain to come up with something original?! Great poem!! Denise |

Picture this... Out of the primordial slime slips forth a Deep One... in each a hand a black and orange pom-pom. He grins his frog like grin and begins his sacred chant... Give me a 'C' For the crazed look in your eye. Give me a 'T' For the terror in your cry. Give me an 'H' For the horror I spin. Give me a 'U' For the ugliness within. Give me an 'L' For the lost souls I crave. And one more 'H' For the Hell that's your grave Finish it with 'U' And call me Cthulu Ancient fiend of water deep Your favorite all hollows eve creep. Gooooooo Cthulu! ----- Doc Moose...I just love your poetic craft. |

Dr. Moose, what a style you have. Surely E.A. himself must be nodding his approval from the depths at this brilliant, somewhat maddening composition. Wonderful writing, I have shivers on my skin! Rainydays |
